Kyle in Las Vegas, my movie title would be Are We There Yet? because I have a lot going on and as much as I enjoy the busy, looking forward to less on the plate! #AppleEDUchat
Welcome to #AppleEDUChat. Our topic tonight is Digital Storytelling. I'm your moderator, @MrReiff from LI, NY. Take a moment to introduce yourself. We'll start with Q1 in a moment. First, if your life was a movie, what would the title be?
A1: If I had a movie about myself the movie title would probably be called A Hot Mess. I’m a young college student that has made many mistakes in my life. #AppleEDUChat #3043
👋🏻Jordan here from Chicago - instructional/ innovation director - my title would be “What do you think?” Lol @mrsforest always teases me because it’s my go to response to have a deeper conversation #AppleEDUchat

A1: Digital storytelling is simply adapting a model that humans have been using for thousands of years: pictures, words, & sounds convey meaning. Doesn’t matter if its in a cave or on an iPad. #AppleEDUChat
A1: Digital storytelling involves Ss telling a story in their words using an app or tech resources of their choosing to best portray their thoughts authentically #AppleEDUchat
Heather Bermingham, elementary special ed teacher and facilitator of a digital storytelling afterschool club in central NY, roundabout Syracuse. First time chatter! #AppleEDUchat
A1: Digital Storytelling in my classroom comes from my students using their tool, iPads, to express themselves through video, voice, text and animation. #AppleEDUchat
A1) For young adults all options are open; video, spoken word, animation, drawn, written, voice typing…any way they can share their story. #AppleEDUchat
A1: digital storytelling is just storytelling. The digital part is just the delivery channel and potentially the production tools. It’s about the narrative and the voice #AppleEDUchat
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
A1: digital storytelling is when a student feels empowered to share their journey to a connection with: their learning, others, an experience, etc. #AppleEDUChat
AppleEDU: Join #AppleEDUchat tonight at 6pm PST hosted by mrreiff. Connect with other educators, ask questions & share ways you use words, sounds and images to enhance stories. https://t.co/yKcjSSj7ol
Everyone has a story, an everyone's story is IMPORTANT and VALID. Storytelling is a way of letting our kids know that THEY MATTER...we ALL matter! #AppleEDUchat
A1: I think digital story telling is adding pictures, audio, videos, or links to make the book to come alive digitally. Students can choose a book and can add any type of media to make a digital story. #AppleEDUChat #3043
A2: Digital storytelling is bringing a story to life with digital tools and also giving students a chance to publish their creations! Back in the day the only way to publish was to write & draw and maybe your teacher would hang it on the wall! #AppleEDUchat
What qualifies....UMM>>>>>SO MUCH! :) I define digital storytelling as using technology to enhance our stories and further students' abilities to share their voice!

A1: Digital storytelling creates multiple forms of expression for students in order to demonstrate creativity and reach a bigger audience. #AppleEDUchat
Digital Storytelling - the ability to tell your story, demonstrate your learning using one or more digital tools to underscore your message-so importsmt when you consider storytelling is the #1 business skill #AppleEDUchat#edtech
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
I also see it as having the ability to story-tell using digital accommodations to level the playing field and meet students where they are at. #AppleEDUchat
A2: Most stories used to live & die locally. Digital storytelling allows students to write, edit, record, and SHARE their stories with the world. #AppleEDUChat
The amazing free & low cost tools available on a Mac and/or iPad give Ts and Ss almost infinite ways to redefine how a traditional story can be told #AppleEDUchat
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
If my life was a movie it would be called “Never Not Late” and it would be an endless montage of me stuck in traffic or driving around the OU parking Garages. #AppleEduChat
A1: using some form of technology to alter the way you tell a story-film, sound effects, animation, etc. I separate it from an adapted book which is just using digital picture symbols to simplify a story #AppleEDUChat
Does digital storytelling have to have a visual component? My gut says digital storytelling combines media...but I don’t think one of the mediums has to be visual. #appleEduChat
A1 storytelling has the same definition it always has going way back...tell your story in whatever way makes you happy- Art, writing, video, graphics, drawing, all mediums accepted here #AppleEduChat
A2 The medium becomes part of the message - it is not just about the story but how you tell it, how you express it. The story becomes an experience #AppleEDUchat
A2: Digital storytelling benefits the viewer/audience as much as the storyteller. It’s interactive and often times allows the audience to actively engage with the story. #AppleEDUchat
Honestly, I have been shocked how much my college students HATE selfie videos this semester.. they choose to make better projects in Clips to stay off camera on @flipgrid They choose to enhance their stories that way. #appleeduchat
A2) Young adults can create professional quality stories using an iPad. From draft to editing to final product they can control their story. Many opted to sit silently not many years ago. #AppleEduChat
A1: digital storytelling to me means a student using a tool of their choice to create a finished product that gives them a voice to share with others. #AppleEDUchat
#AppleEDUchat A2: iPad and MacBook have provided the tools to engage in digital storytelling in everyone's hands. It makes the tools accessible and engaging!
A2: mobile devices and web apps have not changed the definition of it - just the context and the reach. But maybe future ready students will just call the whole thing communication #AppleEDUchat
A2: The iPad puts so many tools at students fingertips for telling their story. It also gives them the largest audience with just a few clicks. No Limits Storytelling #appleeduchat
A2: Students are able to use different apps and such to tell their story. Not every student has to tell their story using the same platform. Now, students have versatility in their approach, allowing for more differentiation. #AppleEDUchat
A2: the iPad has simplified the way to create - bc of the user friendly interface, it allows for more time to focus on the content and creation of the story rather than the “tech” issues #AppleEDUchat
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
A1: using different types of media that digital tools can provide to bring a story to life. I think it’s the combination and integration of media that has the potential to make digital storytelling a tool that can redefine the way students learn. #AppleEDUchat
What qualifies....UMM>>>>>SO MUCH! :) I define digital storytelling as using technology to enhance our stories and further students' abilities to share their voice!
#AppleEDUchat
English Language learners Good call.. Do you know Clips can now add subtitles in different languages.. click on the little world.. its kind of cool.. #appleeduchat
A2: iPad & MacBook provide tools to make stories more professional, crisp & shareable. As a kid, I recall playing w/a video camera at holidays. It was quite an effort to try to turn these VHS stories into those categories as a child. Now, those barriers - gone. #AppleEDUchat
iPads let youngest students tell stories using video, animation, photo, and their own voice. Stories an be immediately published to a worldwide audience. #Gamechanger#AppleEDUchat
A1: I define Digital Storytelling as stories told through technology. What qualifies as digital storytelling would be apps like Book Creator, NearPod, Explain Everything, and any other app that allows you to tell a story digitally #AppleEduChat #3043
A2: Storytelling is more than something that is just written or spoken. iPad devices & MacBooks make it possible for learners to share their story visually, verbally, and in writing #AppleEDUchat
A2: When you give students a choice in how they use their voice you empower them. iPads and other digital devices have given our students fantastic ways to share their stories, in a way that is engaging and meaningful
#AppleEDUchat
A2: iPads celebrate unfinished work by allowing Ss to freely edit and revise their craft. It allows for a story to never have a concrete ending. It creates flexible and empowering tools for storytelling to be accessible for all. #AppleEduChat
A2 i#iPad in particular allows Ss to be increfibly crestivr thtough on app like Vlipd @Animoto or iMovie or smash apps inyo something truly eondergil lije eith @BookCreatorApp#AppleEDUchat
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
A2: It has changed the definition of story telling by being able to create anything you want. You can create videos, draw art digitally, take pictures, add your own voice by creating a voice over. Students can be more creative with their own story. #AppleEDUChat #3043
Storytelling impacts many areas of the brain and making it digital and visual allows more students to access it through multimodal instruction #AppleEduChat
I love having a class collaborate on writing a multitouch book with text, pics, maps, videos... and then publishing it worldwide through iTunes & iBooks #AppleEDUchat
Absolutely! Everything looks so much better and gives students a large sense of pride. Simplifying the process and making the access point open to everyone. #AppleEduChat
A2: I make movies everyday in my iPhone with WeVideo. You can se them on the Media of my twitter profile. I didn’t use to do that at all - so maybe something has changed after all #AppleEDUchat
A2: One of the most powerful ways that my students’ iPads have changed storytelling is the opportunity for choice. The different methods/modes of expression are endless. #AppleEDUchat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand ideas such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
I love seeing a student’s look of self-accomplishment when they finish a really good digital storytelling project. They cant wait to share it. #AppleEDUChat
A2: What once was an audience of one, has become an audience of unimaginable size. Technology has made that happen. iBooks Author and @BookCreatorApp have allowed my kids to be published authors 115 times. #AppleEDUchathttps://t.co/HQQpFLbWFU
A2: I think iPad give students the ability to app smash. They can create different parts of the story and different apps then they can figure out how do all of these different parts form one larger story. They can do this all on one device. #AppleEDUchat
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
A2 connecting with other teachers and classrooms around the world can be done with technology where classes can merge and come up with a project together. I could see FaceTime being effective in connecting whole classes to make a discussion #AppleEduChat
A2: I agree with this statement 100% (esp. as an Art Teacher!) iPad/MacBook have made it possible for every Ss work to show their true talents, even when they struggle with writing. It opens doors to the world, and lets their (literal) voice be heard. #AppleEDUchat
Absolutely! Everything looks so much better and gives students a large sense of pride. Simplifying the process and making the access point open to everyone. #AppleEduChat
A2: iPads and MacBooks have open new pathways for students to showcase THEIR stories through creativity. They become the authors, actors, editors and producers! #AppleEduChat
This has been a learning curve for young adults. Being comfortable with a work in progress while being able to demonstrate progress is so powerful. #AppleEDUChat
A2: Apple devices have changed the definition of storytelling in that paper is no longer required. With devices such as these, the world is at your finger tips. You don’t need to be a good illustrator when you have access to google images to add to your story! #AppleEDUChat #3043
A2. I think it’s opened up previously inacccesible forms of storytelling to even our youngest learners. Storytelling isn’t limited by “I don’t know how to do that” anymore. #AppleEDUchat
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
A2: Publishing. Never before has it been so easy to share creations with the world. Apps like iMovie, Clips, iBooks Author, and Book Creator were key in leading the way to create and publish. #AppleEDUchat
A2: The devices have opened the doors of endless possibilities for creativity. I love that these digital tools can be versatile for all grade levels. #AppleEDUchat
I’ve never seen a student run up to his/her friends and say, “I wanna show this really cool essay I wrote in Mr. Reiff’s class.” A digital storytelling project is handled very differently. #appleEDUchat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand ideas such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
It’s great for Little’s, older kids and teachers alike! I love how all the apps have similar features that all do the same thing - so ideal for k-2. #AppleEDUchat
A3: empathy & mindfulness? Absolutely because they have a voice (even the kid in the back row). & they work in groups often. And they are presenting a perspective in a personal way. We’ll know that we communicate visually orders of magnitude more than through text. #AppleEDUchat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand concepts such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
A3 Digital story telling can be a great way for students to share what they know about digital literacy. Learn empathy, understand appropriate use. Share their stories with others and learn from their peers. #appleEDUchat
@DrTerriC I have experienced the opposite because I would rather connect with other people face to face and selfie videos feel a bit more like a conversation than an assignment. #AppleEduChat
A3: There is a focus on bullying right now, and having Ss share their experiences with bullying may not only be informational, it may be closure and empowerment for some Ss. I told my story for a class project at GCU, and it really helped me close the door on it #AppleEDUchat
A3 Sharing out stories around the world is a powerful way to develop empathy understanding-we begin to know we are not alone-words and pictures are incredibly powerful #AppleEduChat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand ideas such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
A2: I use my iPhone and iPad to create stories all the time - but with today’s web apps and connected devices - any students can do digital storytelling in any device. I hate the thought of a Chromebook school T listening here and feeling left out! #AppleEDUchat
Love when young adults show their family something they have created, “You did that?” Then young adults tell them exactly how - some great #proudthanks moments! #AppleEDUChat
A3: One of the most powerful aspects of storytelling is it’s ability to connect to our emotional center, that’s why it is the most powerful way to break through cognitive dissonance. #AppleEDUchathttps://t.co/fuV7Xa2Deu
A3: Virtual Team Teaching is sustainable digital storytelling. Every day our students connect, they share a little bit of themselves. MLK day provided this perfect example. #AppleEDUchat
A3: #SEL can be explained in the words of each ind Ss as they work to tell their stories digitally. The ability to add images, video, voice recordings and text make their work powerful and more easily comprehended by a wider audience #AppleEDUchat
A3: We used digital storytelling with autistic children during speech sessions. They wrote Social Skills books to help themselves and others use appropriate social skills in a variety of situations. #appleeduchat One of my favorite books we did.
Q2: The iPad and Mac allow the message to be in the current media of the day. (Video, VR, Audio) Were people this excited when the Gutenberg press 1.0 came out? #AppleEDUchat
A3: @theipodteacher makes me think of your awesome book creator project that connects across the grade levels, schools, abilities! Littlest draw monsters, middles animate, and uppers created stickers! #AppleEDUchat
A3: aren’t empathy and mindfulness, in other words, transporting yourself to someone else’s experience, core in all storytelling? @Mrreiff#AppleEDUChat
Q3: By creating digital stories students can post their stories online so their other classmates can get to know them better. The students can get to know them at a deeper lever and may have a more respect for each other. #AppleEDUChat #3043
a3) My students made @BookCreatorApp books with @StoryDice and honestly there was a lot of creativity & empathy.. Fears! Challenges! Creativity! personal Perspective! #AppleEDUchat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand ideas such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
A3: Digital storytelling allows students to personalize their own story. This can be used to teach empathy and mindfulness because a student can share a story with an entire class from their own perspective. Therefore other students can look into their window #AppleEDUchat #3043
A3 One of the pleasant, unexpected side effects of digital storytelling is the opportunity for social emotional learning while working on any kind of story. Natural opportunities to practice collaborating with different personalities and ideas in a productive way. #appleeduchat
A3: I have never seen my Ss more proud of each other and more supportive than when we share our stories, math stories on SeeSaw or our poems using Clips. Our room becomes a vulnerable space, and we’ve got nothing but empathy and pride for our friends! #AppleEDUchat
A3: Students can create books w tools like @BookCreatorApp & iBooks Author for each other and share. For example high school students could create stories for younger students travel to their schools and have a read together day. #AppleEDUchat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand concepts such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
A3: Digital Storytelling productions can helps some of our quieter students to have a voice, but it also encourages listening. Being able to make connections with each other, character, or icon from history. #AppleEDUchat
A3: @theipodteacher makes me think of your awesome book creator project that connects across the grade levels, schools, abilities! Littlest draw monsters, middles animate, and uppers created stickers! #AppleEDUchat
A3 Let us not forget that storytelling includes more than voice. Students can express emotion with images, sounds, and illustrations, too. #AppleEDUchat
A3: DEFINITELY! A few years ago our SD did a "Compassion Project" & I loved using video to share Ss stories. They reflected, role played, & gave each other inspiration & feedback. On their own they memorized "We Are The World" after I shared it and sang it in class #AppleEDUchat
A3: Digital storytelling allows students to get excited about their personal stories. This, paired with the fun collaboration that comes with this exciting technology and feeling of accomplishment by the student, absolutely it can teach concepts of empathy! #AppleEDUchat
Honestly, it was one of my favorite activities we’ve done because it gave us a chance to be creative using nothing but a few dice and our minds! #3043 #AppleEDUChat
In reply to
@DrTerriC, @BookCreatorApp, @StoryDice
A3. A student telling their own story in a rich form that other students relate to can give peers a glimpse into their world. I think that helps kids develop a better understanding of the different challenges peers may be facing. #AppleEDUchat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand ideas such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
My tuping! A2 iiPad in particular allows Ss to be incredibly creative with an app like Clips @Animoto or iMovie or smash apps into something truly wonderful like with @BookCreatorApp#AppleEDUchat
A2 i#iPad in particular allows Ss to be increfibly crestivr thtough on app like Vlipd @Animoto or iMovie or smash apps inyo something truly eondergil lije eith @BookCreatorApp#AppleEDUchat
Q2: Marshall McLuhan once said, “The medium is the message.” How have devices like the iPad and MacBook changed the definition of storytelling? #AppleEDUChat
#AppleEduChat oh yeah, after showing a great tool, I get the question, but can you print that? Hard to make the switch to digital hallway for many teachers.
In reply to
@MrKelly027, @DrTerriC, @Mrreiff, @nhsdwelch
A3) For some young adults that is they way they would learn empathy & mindfulness best. Step into another’s shoes as they create the characters & what they would feel/do. #AppleEDUChat
A2: The iPad and MacBook have made storytelling easier than ever. We’re now able to create and publish more efficiently while producing a higher quality product than ever before. #AppleEDUChat
I don't know. iPad is the best tool for storytelling, but that's not a monopoly to that device only. There are so many different tools for storytelling across all devices and platforms! #appleeduchat
A2: I use my iPhone and iPad to create stories all the time - but with today’s web apps and connected devices - any students can do digital storytelling in any device. I hate the thought of a Chromebook school T listening here and feeling left out! #AppleEDUchat
A3: certainly! Digital artists are gathering to draw together. With this comes emotional and technical support. Are school clubs being formed to do the same? #AppleEDUchat
A3: Digital Storytelling can also offer us the opportunity to see how different age groups process emotions. Everyone has a voice and sees things differently. Storytelling allows us to see through the eyes of someone else. #AppleEDUchat
A3: Students can create books w tools like @BookCreatorApp & iBooks Author for each other and share. For example high school students could create stories for younger students travel to their schools and have a read together day. #AppleEDUchat
Q3: How can we use Digital Storytelling to foster social and emotional learning at different grade levels? Can digital storytelling help students to understand concepts such as empathy or mindfulness? #AppleEDUchat#BeKind
Q3: I help our computer teacher with the "Passion Project" this engages students pick a project that is important to them, adding student choice. #AppleEDUchat
We use @storycubes great to start or when they have writers block. Really enjoy having a group write a story using the same prompts - how differently they each see the cube meanings. #AppleEduChat
In reply to
@DrTerriC, @BookCreatorApp, @StoryDice, @storycubes
In PE, students can show their progression in a skill from class, right now, my students are really in to hockey (thank you for that @GoldenKnights!) #AppleEDUChat
A3: Publishing work makes students vulnerable. Fostering a culture of reflection and positive feedback helps give kids confidence. As a result, kids are practicing the true art of compassion and empathy. #AppleEDUchat
A3: Our counselors teach SEL and frequently have student create stories in @BookCreatorApp and #iMovie to talk about mindfulness strategies and friendship/bullying situations. It really connects with Ss and makes the learning personal and relatable #appleeduchat
A4: I was always the kid that asked "When am I going to use this?" Digital storytelling across the curriculum could help answer that question. Tell real stories of using the ideas kids need to learn. #appleeduchat
I LOVE having my students post videos to @Flipgrid so they can interact with/view each other’s stories AND so I can print QR codes to share the videos with an even bigger audience. #AppleEDUchat
In reply to
@DrTerriC, @Mrreiff, @MrKelly027, @nhsdwelch, @Flipgrid
A3: Design thinking paired with digital storytelling as a product is a great way to show empathy, especially when publishing! Students have the chance to share their expertise on a topic and receive feedback #AppleEDUchat
A3 I'm not sure which time my students love more making digital stories or sharing their digital stories. We all look forward to presentations and peer feedback 2 Compliments & 1 Wish #AppleEduChat
A4 Storytelling in math comes in the form of 3-Act Tasks & students capturing the experience (enter: Clips). Sharing... https://t.co/IoQF6dr8ru#AppleEDUchat
So true! I use Clips to share their work and they're so empathetic! It's great & helps them really build each other up during other portions of class! When Ss get frustrated others reassure them & share my motto "flip it, fix it, or live with it and learn from it" #AppleEDUchat
You bring up an interesting point. To build a classroom community, students must feel safe and welcomed in the environment you create. Storytelling is a great way to open the “quiet kids’” doors! #AppleEDUChat #3043
A4: Let's look at Math. Ss could use Educreations to draw and narrate how they solved a problem from beginning to end. Ss will internalize the info better, and share their problem-solving strategies w/others! #AppleEDUchat
Anytime I’ve ever done a digital storytelling project my students beg for class time to watch them all. I think they’re more interested in impressing their peers than the grade. #appleEDUChat
Last year one grade level used @BookCreatorApp to create stories about measurement-made for deeper understanding #AppleEDUChat We’ve used Clips and @BookCreatorApp as coding journals with reflections
A4) in computer science or math, digital story telling can help students comprehend logic problems by breaking them into manageable processes #AppleEDUChat
A4: I'm an Art Teacher, so I use it to have students share the story of their work, or create their own stories through video, stop motion and green screen (their FAVORITES!) #AppleEDUchat
I would teach Social Studies tomorrow if I could use the new shapes in Keynote. Have you seen how to break apart the US map? If you've ever attempted to sketch TX you get me here. #AppleEDUchat
In reply to
@DrTerriC, @MsTaylorBlades, @castlestephanie
A4: Students are constantly recording themselves in @Seesaw discussing problem solving in Math and telling their story of how they came up with their answer. Same with #Coding, #SEL, #Music#appleeduchat
@Mrreiff#AppleEDUchat#A4 we use digital storytelling in social studies via comic book creation (through different apps as well online software platforms)
I wandered into a 5th grade room in my building today and found them putting research on an explorer into a story on @StoryboardThat. I've never used it but it looked SO FUN. #AppleEDUchat
In reply to
@DrTerriC, @MsTaylorBlades, @castlestephanie, @StoryboardThat
A4: yes! when my students run their podcast: ikidapod: coverage of the Iditarod + more, provides by kids, it hits on reading, history, writing and math. It’s absolute magic when it happens #AppleEDUchat
When I taught US History, I did a project for #BlackHistoryMonth called 3 Minute History, students made 3 minute stories on the life of "lesser known" African Americans that made major contributions to science, politics, arts, etc. #AppleEduChat
For the students, maybe no. Teachers, absolutely. Can help inform how they engage with their students and meet the needs of all learners. #AppleEDUchat
A4) We are working to transition to the “real world” & storytelling is such an important skill. Once they are comfortable in the learning environment generalize those skills - a job interview is another form of storytelling, doesn’t seem so scary then. #AppleEduChat
lol use Clips! I am obsessed and my kids are too! They use it in many of our classrooms now (grades k-5) and the possibilities are endless! Also @sketchbookapp is great for #Sketchnotes and drawing! #AppleEDUchat :) I can share demo videos if you'd like!
In reply to
@DrTerriC, @MsTaylorBlades, @castlestephanie, @sketchbookapp
A4: In math students can create a story about math. For an example students can write about geometry and use the shapes the students learned in class. The shapes can be the characters and can write about their properties. #AppleEduChat #3043
Q4: In one 4th grade class, I worked with a teacher using Keynote to journal math vocabulary. Students found to would take pictures to best fit the concept, and add their own graphics too. #AppleEDUchat
A4: there are so many great ways to integrate digital story telling! We have used it to make connections to #digitalcitizenship ,biographies. tomorrow I’ll be working with some kindergarteners on creating digital stories with their sight words #AppleEDUchat
A4: This may be an opportunity for capstone experiences that highlight interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary understanding and constructs. #AppleEDUchat
A4: Creating tutorials for other Ss or classrooms, sharing work via digital blogs, sharing reflections on learning can all be done across the curriculum. Last yr, my grd 2 Ss created #iMovie tutorials and those became small group rotations for other Ss #AppleEDUchat
A4: When students create stories around concepts, their level of understanding goes up. The more they interact with a concept, the more they learn. #AppleEDUchat
With technology we have a global refrigerator for students to place their work. The work on my fridge is good. The work on everyone's fridge is better. #appleeduchat
In reply to
@MrKelly027, @karlyb, @DrTerriC, @Mrreiff, @nhsdwelch
#appleeduchat@Mrreiff A4 for example, one of my favorite software applications for digital storytelling/comics is still to this day @comiclife It's a really good application!
Here’s the story we created using story dice in our #3043 course! It was such a fun project. I would recommend doing it for any age group! @DrTerriC#AppleEDUChat
.@PearDeck new #FlashcardFactory can do something similar, allowing students to build digital flashcards and add images and their own definitions, sentences, etc. #AppleEduChat
A4: Specifically, this may work well in a problem-based learning situation where students approach an issue using multiple disciplinary lenses. #AppleEDUChat
Hey-if i may-a promo for #BookCreatorchat on 2-22 8 pm EST-topic”How can we grow literacy using tech?” We will be creating a book together with all our tips using new live collaboration tool! #AppleEDUChat Thanks @theipodteacher for the inspiration,
A4: a great way to incorporate digital storytelling is through reflection - either as a teacher or a student - check out @mrsforest example on her own reflection https://t.co/lqirzGnDsQ she also has great math coaching posts sprinkled through her blog #AppleEDUchat#icoachbsd

A4 I don't teach science but was playing with the idea of kids demonstrating different scientific processes through stop motion. (We like Smoovie but I'm sure there are other stop motion apps, programs.) #AppleEDUchat
A5: Part of the power of digital storytelling is how shareable it is! Their powerful videos can be agents of change and virality makes anything possible! You never know how far a Ss message can be spread! :) #AppleEDUchat
I am a fan of the subject/standard relevant "PSA" type story/video, example, in social studies, stories on the importance of informed voting #appleeduchat
Wow! What a great concept! I could only imagine all of the musicians who’d discover their calling during this event... Let’s fuel passionate creativity! #AppleEDUchat #3043
a5) I was reading that story about the 190 people shoveling in Chicago.. why can't we share those kind of inspiring stories ourselves. We need to toot our our horns more! Kids do great things. #appleeduchat
Q5: There are stories everywhere you look, just dying for someone to tell it. Empowering the kids to tell stories gives them the tools to go out into the community and tell the stories that need to be told. Community-Based Projects.
#AppleEDUchat
A5: digital stories have leveled the playing field. Now underrepresented and marginalized voices have a platform. The more this happens, the more we equip our students to share and learn their voices, the closer we are to social change. #AppleEDUChat
A5: I hear a lot of students complain about things they don't like or things that bother them. Instead of talking about it...TAKE ACTION! Make a public service announcement. #AppleEDUchat
A5: My students have created public awareness videos tied to their research projects spreading awareness on what people in our community can do to make a productive changes. #AppleEDUChat
Clips is a great app! It’s perfect for students who aren’t comfortable showing their face on a video but they can reply using graphics, videos, their voice, and music to customize answers to their needs. #AppleEDUChat #3043
A5: I would even consider thematic social media posts to be a part of digital storytelling - https://t.co/3eh3CGMeiG Such a positive message and great example of what should be shared online #AppleEDUchat
A5 This has citizen journalism written all over it. Also, in light of natural disasters (for example) students can tell their story from their perspective. #AppleEDUchat
A5: My students always surprised me. These students taught others about the harmful effects of cyber bullying to make others mindful about this problem with our youth. https://t.co/z5i0VmLdtp#AppleEDUchat
A5: The best way to impact another person is through a story. It is more impactful than facts. A digital story or film (especially if it goes viral). It can be powerful for good or bad - think Metropolis vs Birth of a Nation #AppleEduChat
A5: Students can research about current events that are happening around the world. By being educated about current events the students can be more knowledgeable about how to fix the problem. #AppleEduChat #3043
A5: I’ve seen a lot of great stories come from our students during #geniushour when they share a message about a passion to make a difference in our commmunity. #AppleEDUchat
A5) Young adults reengaging with learning again knowing they can share their voice changes their future dreams. Being a part of something beyond themselves, collaboratively, authentically & becoming leaders changes their present positively. #AppleEDUChat
I used digital storytelling to allow children with disabilities to introduce themselves to new teachers at IEP meetings or to their new class. Often children with communication deficits can connect quickly and easily with digital stories. #AppleEDUchat
A4: Here is an clip of a Jeopardy game that was a collaboration between art and the classroom (they were studying biographies)
Still my FAVORITE project ever - this was part of a full-length film that we shared at a local movie theater with a red carpet premiere! #AppleEDUchat
A5 students using a variety of tools on iPad to create a 17 minute tutorial on the complement system (immune response) The students truly told this story correctly. https://t.co/4cpuaAwBGL#AppleEDUChat
A digital story is great way to start an IEP meeting! The most important person in the room shares their messages to set the tone of the meeting. #AppleEDUChat
A5: I have a group of 5th graders that wanted to create a childrens book to convince younger students to take showers instead of baths to save water. #appleeduchat They published it https://t.co/gKnVF38Flk
Grad school My friend Mary Kelly did her dissertation on having kids with IEPs create a video story of their lives and experiences and show it at their meetings. So they had a voice in the process and were not put on the spot talking to adults. #appleeduchat#brilliant
A5) I would like to use Digital Storytelling to show that students with significant disabilities have a voice and a story to tell. By telling their story, students show that they have more ABILITY than disability and it help to eliminate stereotypes of society. #AppleEDUchat
#AppleEDUchat A5 - Connect back to current events/essentially with the world they live in. Ss already understand a lot of what is occurring in the world and want to have a voice Let them (with you guiding them as the teacher) explore the why and the how of world events @Newsela
A5: Digital storytelling gives students a voice that is different than writing on paper. DS can easily be share with the world with a click of a mouse or tap on “enter.” Ss can learn the power and responsibility it take to influence positive change digitally #AppleEDUChat
Q6: Lately I've been sharing Keynote ideas: Single slide postcards, summary, etc, and Keynote for journals. I like the idea of using built in apps in different ways, so I'm not always pushing a new tool. #AppleEDUchat
A6: have your students join the #MagicMoveChallenge Each day @mcoutts81 and I post a theme. Your job is to use Keynote to create animated stories. #appleeduchat Tomorrow's theme: Dad jokes.
A6 Simple, but the camera. Start with capturing photos. "They" say we photograph things that matter to us. Let's take some pics and encourage our kids to do so, too! #AppleEDUchat
Two of my favorites as well! So, A6: ditto to @castlestephanie. Also, love the collaborative feature on #KeyNote for group projects with Ss in other classes (or countries) #AppleEDUchat
My students have access to a lot of different tools on their iPads, and I let them choose what platform they want to use, and I just be there to support them. But I am finding more and more use Clips to tell their stories. #appleeduchat
I didn’t add those to my list - young adults love using Keynote and Garage Band (then they know they can use the music in addition to podcasting). #AppleEDUChat
#AppleEDUchat Address that @UN says that 5.6 million kid sunder age 5 are dying yearly from preventable causes-half caused by hunger!! Unfathomable!! Must save lives now!! Spread @ShareTheMealorg-50 cents feeds a starving child for day! Call congress-tell them to pass Reach Act!
A7: Speech to text that is built into so many apps and programs these days are a game changer for students that struggle with writing and/or typing #AppleEDUChat
A: Book Creator, Clips, iMovie, are my faves and I’ve just begun using Adobe Spark video. The Ss love these and they are easy for them to use and then Publish. #AppleEDUchat
We were learning about the SETT framework today in class. and many of my students suggested accessible digital storytelling without knowing it.. #appleeduchat
A5 Stories can move mountains. I think about Harry Potter or hunger games that have been movements. Our students can create stories that are important to them and share their valued work with the world. #AppleEDUchat
A7) Allowing Ss to choose the tool to demonstrate their learning/share their story. Then everyone is using a tool that meets their need. Perhaps able to teach others how to use their favorite tool too sometime, #AppleEDUChat
A7: A lot of digital storytelling is inherently #accessible since literacy isn’t an immediate barrier, but we’ve used elegize, digital switches and other Mac accessibility features to make it even more so #AppleEDUChathttps://t.co/1FVP5jWIbN
A7: Technology allows for voice and choice in ed by giving Ss ways to develop their own academic skills. Removes potential barriers by enhancing features not available w paper. #AppleEDUchat
Don't bite off more than you can chew, start with one app/program and incorporate it into your lessons. Also, you don't have to be an expert, your Ss can teach you a lot about different apps/programs #AppleEDUChat
a8) Pay attention to what makes you click on facebook etc.. pay attention to how they tell the story, and emulate that in your structure. #AppleEDUchat
A7: Dictation makes all the difference in the world! I have Ss who HATE writing/typing because they struggle with spelling/reading. Speech to text in #ClassroomClips gives them the chance to see what they said, and learn from it, without the frustration of writing! #AppleEDUchat
Don't bite off more than you can chew, start with one app/program and incorporate it into your lessons. Also, you don't have to be an expert, your Ss can teach you a lot about different apps/programs #AppleEDUChat
A7: Tech itself empowers kids w/ ALL abilities; ask Ss to read or write something & you're bound to have a few who struggle or are disinterested, but I've never (to date!) had a kid "not want to" watch a video and/or make one! Ss LOVE it and forget they're learning! #AppleEDUchat
Thanks to everyone for sharing their ideas digital storytelling ideas tonight on #AppleEDUChat. Keep sharing your digital stories. We all look forward to seeing them! Have a great night.
Might be blasphemy in this chat but I prefer @soundtrap over Garage Band, I find it easier to use and the sharing capabilities are top notch! #AppleEDUChat
A8: You don't have to be an expert at an App for kids to use it.... Don't try to limit their creativity to using just one app. Allow them the freedom of expression #appleeduchat
You don’t need to be an expert in all the tech-facilitate-focus on the storytelling/giving voice and choice is everything-start small and share with the world #AppleEDUchat
A7) We can use voice over, video with picture symbols/ text.. I am sure we will learn a lot more ways in class :) @DrTerriC (I forgot to use the hashtag..again) #AppleEDUchat
Q8: Start with a small project to get your feet wet. We are always pushing to get to the top of the SAMR model, sometimes starting in the Substitution level helps teachers new to tech get started. #AppleEDUchat
