This July 6th workshop will serve as a primer for educators who wish to teach and use digital storytelling in their classrooms, either as a means to increase students’ digital literacy, or to produce a podcast or short digital video in lieu of traditional essays or final projects. The workshop will present a general overview of uses and approaches towards teaching digital storytelling and will specifically focus on available archival materials from radio collections which can be integrated into student projects. Following the workshop, we will ask for attendees to participate in a focus group to learn how about what they teach, whether and how they use multimedia resources in the classroom, and what sorts of materials would be most helpful to enable teachers to integrate audio into their lessons and assignments. Online workshop July  6th 1:00-3:00 PST
