Build a culture of creativity in your school! Stories engage and motivate learners. Digital storytelling is one way for students and teachers to share their knowledge.

Students will engage in the writing process through simple, yet highly engaging web content. Examples of web tools such as Adobe Creative Express, Storybird, Canva, and more! This is an AWESOME way to learn how to create classroom graphics, engaging presentations and especially for speech and language play, sight words proficiency, practicing with narrative prompts, story starters, creative storytelling and even 2nd language acquisition techniques. This course is SIMPLE to navigate but will WOW your students!
