Now that mobile devices are ubiquitous, some people still find it hard to download their favourite music or audio files. This is due to the fact that most of the portable devices do not support some of the video formats available online now. As a solution , here is a list of some of the best free tools you can use to convert Youtube videos into MP3. You might ask me why Youtube and not other video platforms. The answer is quite obvious, Youtube is number 1 video resource for internet users according to the latest statistics in this field. I also opted for Youtube because most of educators use it as a resource and it would be great if they can now convert some of its content to MP3 to embed in their mobile devices for sharing with their colleagues or students.

We'll also get to see a few examples of her student work and have access to the online lessons she created to help you in building your own projects.

This will be most beneficial to teachers who have access to iPads in their classrooms, but it's always exciting to learn about tools, apps and the possibilities for enhancing digital story telling with any tools you may have access to and we would welcome participants willing to share the tools and project examples for digital storytelling projects you are using in your classrooms."
