This document outlines an agenda for a workshop on digital storytelling. The workshop consists of several sessions where participants will: 1) Share homework projects and discuss tools for enhancing digital stories, such as audio/video recording and editing software. 2) Prepare instruction sheets on how to use various technologies, such as Microsoft Photo Story, to develop digital stories based on lesson plans. 3) Reconvene in small groups to describe lesson plans and receive feedback to address any issues. Participants will then adjust plans based on suggestions.
