Full Session Description:

Our learners enjoy listening to stories and creating stories. Storytelling encourages learners to use the language they have learned and apply it to a context and setting in a creative way. Collaborative and global digital storytelling takes this learning to the next level. Various online tools, mobile learning apps and ICTs allow learners to collaboratively create and share their stories digitally. In this presentation, participants will discover cool digital storytelling tools and lesson ideas. They will leave with practical tips for managing, evaluating, and implementing digital storytelling projects.

Hi Shelly,

This sounds very interesting. I will certainly try to attend, timezones will be a challenge.

I like the idea of students writing their own stories and sharing them globally. It would make a really nice read, compare and contrast our global lives in a unit/ project.

Where does one place the globally shared stories of our students? Or is this one of the conundrums we as teachers need to solve as part of our global collaboration? Is it something this site can do?

If we have a place with our globally shared stories it becomes a resource for all to use in our lessons/ projects in global education / intercultural education.

The power of students realising that people in other countries have things in common with them (as well as things that are different) can be harnessed for better personal understanding and a step towards curbing racism.

Hence a site or keeping place for these created stories would be good.

Looking forward to the session in November!

Cheers,

Shelly -

Remember that this is not an ICT conference, so make sure to include lots of examples of global collaboration in your preso!

Thanks,

Lucy
