Digital Storytelling for the Classroom – Record a one-minute introduction video for your students

During a three-day workshop spread over two weeks, attendees will use their smartphone or laptop cameras to record and edit a one-minute horizontal video introducing themselves to their students. Through interactive discussions and examples, participants will learn how to craft compelling digital stories that resonate with students and create meaningful connections. We will explore the principles of effective digital storytelling, having the opportunity to plan, script, record, and edit your own one-minute introduction videos. Guidance will be provided through one-on-one and group meetings to incorporate these elements with authenticity and enthusiasm. By the end of the three group meetings, you will have produced a polished introduction video ready to be shared with your students before the semester starts.
