ISTE requires membership but did listen to the free webinar on digital story telling which i am currently using in the graduate level nursing theory course. Students are assigned to do a 3-5 minute digital story using a nursing theorist. These are due in April, so I'll send you the link once they are completed, i am hoping that they will use quicktime so that i can link the stories into Second life.

After looking at voice thread I started thinking of ways in which I could utilize this technology in teaching my undergraduate students and it dawned on me that I could post a picture of the Amish and ask my students to share comments about the amish culture which would be useful in facilitating optimal outcomes with clients. At the graduate level, I was thinking of posting a diagram of a nursing model and asking the students to give an example of an application of the model to a client scenario. And in teaching nurse practitioners, I could post a picture of a patient and tell the story then ask students to identify a possible differential with rational. With 6 students in a clinical, 6 possible differentials could be generated from viewing a picture of the client and listening to the story in context.

This cookbook gives instructions when seem straightforward. I plan to use this in the spring 2010 semester as an activity in N6101 Nursing Theory.
