After a brief discussion of the science and theory, we will explore several aspects of story and digital storytelling and how they intersect with schools, curriculum, and learning. Small groups will collaboratively build a Learnist board to capture and share the ideas we generate.","Description":"The focus for this conversation is how and why storytelling should be embedded in the design of all learning experiences.\r\n\r\nWe will first share some of the science supporting the connections between storytelling and learning. Then, we will spend a few minutes processing this information, capturing several \u201cSo What?\u201d thoughts and questions from the participants. We will form small groups around some or all of the questions generated by the room. Each group will explore the questions more deeply, contributing to a shared Learnist board as a storytelling tool. After sharing out highlights of the learning in the small groups, we\u2019ll move into the \u201cNow What?\u201d phase, with new groups following a line of personal interest by generating a classroom activity around a digital storytelling tool, a curricular area, a project, or a problem applying ideas from the earlier discussions.\r\n\r\nIn the last few minutes of the session, pair up and share with each other how you will tell the story of this experience to your colleagues or administrator when you get back on Monday.","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"Use of a modified \"What? So What? Now What?\" protocol as the overall framework, each segment of the session will focus primarily on small group conversations and collaboratively building a Learnist board.","Presenter":["Gerald Aungst","Amanda Dykes"],"PresenterAffiliation":["School District of Cheltenham Township","McAdory Middle School"],"PresenterEmail":["geraldaungst@gmail.com"],"ScheduleSlotID":8,"ScheduleLocationID":11,"SubmitterID":62,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":2}}
