Educator Workshop

The three-day Educator Workshop is designed specifically for K-12 classroom teachers. First, each participant develops a digital story not more than 150 words in length. The creation of these shorter pieces provides hands on experience with the entire digital storytelling process, including a story circle, script writing and recording, and the production process, using digital technology.

As they finish their digital stories, participants move into the second component of the workshop in which they touch on implementation issues. Strategies for managing the creation of digital stories in the classrooms are presented, and opportunities for participants to practice their technology teaching skills are offered.

Each participant receives a CD with classroom resources for digital storytelling projects including software guide and a sample assessment rubric.

Pre-requisites: Basic computer knowledge, including internet use, ability to navigate the computer’s directory system, and ability to use basic word processing programs.

Continuing Education Credits available through Dominican University of California (two CEUs) or University of Colorado. This workshop also counts towards the requirements for the Digital Storytelling Certificate.

This is an intensive, three-day workshop. Full participation is needed for successful completion. For a more detailed workshop description and agenda, please contact workshop@storycenter.org.

We also offer a Standard Workshop, a Facilitator Intensive Training, a Certificate Program, and customized program development services.
