Listen "Expanding Literacy Through Digital Storytelling"
Episode Synopsis
Storytelling is one of the most universal and longstanding forms of communication. Our world continues to be shaped by the stories we tell and consume. Storytelling is a staple in most lower grades, but once kids reach middle school, narrative has often been replaced with the standard essay.This week on the podcast, we’re exploring ways that storytelling can re-enter the classroom to compliment the critical literacy students are already building on.We are joined by Jaclyn Karabinas from Heinemann Professional Development and Brett Pierce, author of Expanding Literacy: Bringing Digital Storytelling into Your Classroom. Brett explores the myriad options for narrative and storytelling that the digital format provides to us, and how it can inspire and engage our students.Connect with Brett on his website or on Twitter @MeridianStory© Heinemann Publishing 2022See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
