Tech Tools for Digital Storytelling, Presentations & Library PR

 

 

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LEARN TODAY!

 

 

 

Storytelling and presenting are too intertwined to separate, since giving an effective presentation is really all about good storytelling.  In this workshop we'll cover a selection of tools to help tell stories through photos, voice, text, video and music. 

 

Storytelling is at the heart of so many activities. We use it as an advocacy tool, to share our personal stories, to preserve the history of our community, to present classroom assignments and research and so much more.


The tools we'll cover here will be useful for schools and all types of libraries. Use them kids & teens in classrooms. school and public libraries.  These would also be great tools to cover in a technology series for the public and have them create their own stories to share. Let your creative spirit, imagination and memories loose!
