About this Learning Opportunity

SMART Notebook 11 brings with it a host of new learning features for teachers. Digital storytelling and narrative inquiry projects offer students of all ability levels opportunities to share what they know and how they feel through audio, images, text, video, and text across all subject areas. In this session we will explore how to put the multimedia creation features of SMART Notebook 11 together with the powerful learning potential of digital storytelling. In this interactive, hands-on session you will leave with an end product that could be shared with your students as a sample.

Areas of focus include:

  • The Essence of Digital Storytelling
  • Getting to Know SMART Notebook 11
  • Applying What We’ve Learned: Creating A Digital Story or Narrative Inquiry Product in SMART Notebook 11

Please bring a USB drive to save your resources.

This session focuses on:

TPK (Technological Pedagogical Knowledge) - How to use the technology effectively, i.e. what are these tools and how can I use them to engage students in deeper learning?

This session is being offered on a cost recovery basis.
