My students tell me they
HATE reading!
3. When I ask why, they tell me:
“It’s boring.”
“It’s hard.”
“I learn better from a movie.”
“I like movies better.”
“Too many hard words.”
“It makes me tired.”
4. But reading is necessary! So I
try to motivate my students by:
Making PowerPoints
Finding podcasts for students to listen to.
Finding video clips that support the story.
Finding audioclips that add sound
Wait a minute . . . .
5. I’m learning new skills
and
I’m having all the fun!

Transformative for learners.
They bring their own ideas, beliefs,
values and understandings into a
project to create an original work based
on their learning.

using digital tools.

12. So how do you do “digital
storytelling?”
Start with the story.
Explore ideas and interests with the students.
Develop a project plan.
Help students use technology to gather resources and
recreate their story based on what they have learned.
