Becoming a Digital Storyteller

The Course

Do you believe in the power of stories?

Do you want your students to become active global citizens ready for positive and purposeful civic engagement?

Do you want to equip your students with the skills to be purposeful content creators rather than passive consumers of digital information?

Do you want to create and launch your own class website/digital storytelling platform?

This 4-week course will equip you to share aspects of your students' learning that connect to global issues, the Sustainable Development Goals, service learning and more. At the end of this course, you will be able to coach your students to create digital content to share on your own classroom website/digital platform, or through existing channels in your school and community.

If your students are exploring sustainability (personal and collective), hopeful scenarios for the future, civic readiness and how to use tech for good, you can share their stories with others to:

• equip your students to become skilled advocates and communicators
• foster deeper learning and engagement with your curriculum
• create a culture of sustainable, positive changemaking in your classroom and school
• inspire others in your community to learn, think and act in responsible and equitable ways

Each week will involve approximately 2 hours of asynchronous learning. Each module will include a final digital storytelling task (where we get to explore and try fun new tools), and there will be a final Zoom call where we get to connect, chat and synthesize what we've learned. I look forward to meeting you and working with you in this space!
