Richard Lambert and I recently presented at the VITTA 2009 ‘Slide to Open’ conference held at Flemington Racecourse. The session we took was focusing on ‘Digital Storytelling’ in the everyday classroom. We enjoyed sharing our past experiences working together on our ‘Movie Magic’ unit, but also had the opportunity to reflect on our own journey’s in 2009, as we are both now at different schools.
While there are always going to be different approaches and outcomes in different environments, there is no denying the power of storytelling and its effect on humanity. Throughout history, man has created new ways to share stories, and now in this digital age, storytelling has a new medium that is faster and greater reaching than ever before.
The presentation is very visual and relied upon our verbal cues, but you still get the idea and key points of our session. Thankyou to everyone who attended for your positive and enthusiastic reception to our work.
