Session Goals: Teachers will understand and apply concepts and options for digital storytelling.

Objective:  Teachers will use PhotoStory3 to create a brief narrative or imaginative work to share.  Collaboratively, teachers will form a plan to implement digital storytelling in their instruction and student products.

What it isn't:  An extensive training. It is an overview and opportunity for practice and sharing ideas.
