Instructor: Roger Carroll, rdcarroll@roadrunner.com

This workshop introduces participants to the world of digital storytelling. Roger will share the basics of 2 different FREE programs that teachers can use to incorporate this exciting technology into their classrooms.

The first program is Microsoft PhotoStory, a free download from Microsoft. This program allows students to create storyboards and put them together in a digital format. Its a very easy program to use.

The second program, which does not require an install but works within your web browser, is VoiceThread. VoiceThread allows you to transform collections of media, like images, videos, documents, and presentations into a place for a conversation. These conversations are not live, but take place whenever it's convenient for the people to participate. They are also secure, with simple controls that let you dictate who can participate and what they can do.

Attached are some of the handouts:
