Interested in designing rewarding assignments for students that incorporate museum digital content, while developing written communication skills, collaboration, and technology literacy? This collection supports a workshop that introduces participants to Digital Storytelling--a high-impact pedagogy embraced by artists, activists, and educators worldwide--with the support of content from the Smithsonian’s free online Learning Lab platform. Participants analyze examples and create their own digital stories to inform applications for their classrooms. Examples shown come from college classrooms, but digital storytelling is broadly applicable across disciplines and grade levels.

Included here are materials intended to help users produce digital storytelling projects in their own classrooms. Click on the paperclip on the agenda tile (first row, thrid tile) to see the pre-workshop assignment that participants were asked to complete before attending the in-person workshop.

The workshop and collection have been produced by Matthew Decker and Sara Ducey of Montgomery College and Philippa Rappoport of the Smithsonian Office of Educational Technology.
