Great article on using digital microstories to draw students back into literature and teach skills from the standards. The authors address the purpose behind this strategy, links to digital microstories, and ideas for digital presentations from students. They also touch on citation of images.

Digital Storytelling online resources...a list of websites and ideas to get you started.

Digital Storytelling (also affectionately known as ds106) is an open, online course that will begin on January 10th, 2011. This course is free to anyone who wants to take it, and the only requirements are a real computer (none of those wimpy ass iPads), a hardy internet connection, a domain of your own, some commodity web hosting, and all the creativity you can muster (and we'll spend time helping you get up and running with at least two of the last three requirements).

"We are our stories, we compress years of experience, thought and emotion into a few compact narratives that we convey to others and tell to ourselves" Daniel Pink, a Whole New Wind

"Share your main library websites: elementary, middle school and high school examples and please also share specific examples of effective practice in the following areas: * Reports * Book and Reading Promotion * Digital Storytelling * Inquiry/Information Fluency Instruction * Digital Citizenship * Pathfinders * Presentations/Speeches/Online Instruction Please also add your names to our lists of SchoolLibraryBloggers and SchoolLibraryTweeters and consider linking us to your best presentations "

Geesh Richard, another great resource; like your posts are not enough. Many, many thanks. I have followed your blog for about a year and have learned SO MUCH. I understand you are from CT. Any chance we can get you to the joint annual CASL/CECA (Connecticut Association of School Librarians and Connecticut Educators Computer Association) conference next year? October 24, 2009 10:35 PM Mr. Byrne said... Yes, I am originally from Connecticut. In fact, I went to CCSU for freshman year. I'd like to come to CASL/CECA. Can you send me an email? richardbyrne (at) freetech4teachers Thanks. October 25, 2009 6:47 AM Linux and Friends said... Thanks for the amazing document. I am aware of a few of the resources listed in the document. However, many of the others are new to me. I will definitely check them out. November 2, 2009 9:45 PM dunnes said... I visited and bookmarked four sites from this post! Thank you for the great resource. Students want to use Google rather than stick to the school library catalog, but they need more instruction on how to do this. I have seen too many children search with ineffective terms, and then waste time clicking on their random results. November 8, 2009 12:38 PM Lois said... Beyond Google is a great resource. I wish I had your skills for taking what you learn and putting it together as you do. I love reading your daily blog.

You can even create a classroom account to manage your students so they don't have to create their own account. Link to the classroom set up guide: http://www.storyjumper.com/main/classroom
