It begins with a story. . .
“…what is occurring because of that one simple little
thing you have done (teaching digital storytelling) is
really rather phenomenal. Remember your question
to us at the beginning of the training. “Would it help if
I could give you a technology tool that everyone
could learn to use very quickly even if you don’t know
anything about technology?”
I wondered when you said that how it could be
done. Well, you did it and it has proven to be
effective many times over with an unbelievable ripple
effect as it is touching special education, ESL
students, recent immigrants, parents of autistic
children, and on and on.”

Change is upon us . . .
• A paradigm shift means fundamentally altering the way
things are done.
• The future …belongs to pioneers - the people who are
willing to accept high risk and open a new trail to the
future. They put the new paradigm into practice.

NCLB
• Technology deadline on December 31,
2006
• Are we prepared to meet the deadline?
• What is going to happen now?
• Are students prepared to use technology
to “perform” not just to play?

Paradigm Shift in Education
• For the first time in the history of education,
students know vastly more about a subject
(technology) than the teachers do.
• Students now have access to information
about anything – at their fingertips.
• This paradigm shift (to learn to use
technology, integration of core academics)
requires a huge learning curve in a time when
few people have free time.

• Now you need to get up to speed on: TAKS,
TEKS, technology integration, academic
integration, math TEKS, English TEKS, reading
TEKS, science TEKS, social studies TEKS . . .
• AND – teach many students with a wide variety
of technology, math, English, reading skills
• AND – address needs of special populations –
SE, LEP and at-risk…

• However, educational technology is not, and
never will be, transformative on its own.
• It requires the assistance of educators who
integrate technology into the curriculum, align it
with student learning goals, and use it for
engaged learning projects.

Use Digital Stories to
• Enhance curriculum in the classroom
• Integrate math, reading and technology
• Reinforce processes, i.e., sequencing, part to whole,
whole to part, cause and effect, etc.
• Create emotional connections to learning
• Have fun learning

Challenges you will face:
• Seeking meaningful uses of digital
storytelling other than the superficial ones
• Wanting students to use digital imaging as
a mode of communication and personal
reflection
• Integrating multimedia development into
curriculum
• Avoiding copyright infringement

Part IV
Using Photo Story 3
• "Emotions drive the threesome of attention, meaning,
and memory."
• In essence, that sums up what we know about
learning: attending to information, constructing
meaning, and lodging it in our memory.
• Brain researchers have shown that emotions are
critical to patterning, which is the way that information
is organized in the brain, how we are able to retrieve
that information.

• Emotions assist in both evaluating and
integrating information and experiences.

• Combining the tools of today’s electronic media
with great teaching methods has given
educators a whole new way to give wings to a
child’s learning.

• When students understand what makes
great stories for audiences and how
storytelling helps audiences learn, they
can create messages that shape not only
their own learning, but help teach others
across the world.

Things gain meaning by
being used in a shared
experience or joint
action.

• Give the pupils something to do,
not something to learn; and the
doing is of such a nature as to
demand thinking; learning
naturally results.

To "learn from experience" is to
make a backward and forward
connection between what we do to
things and what we enjoy or suffer
from things in consequence. Under
such conditions, doing becomes a
trying; an experiment with the world
to find out what it is like; the
undergoing becomes instruction-discovery of the connection of
things.
