Course Designer Overview:

This course is designed to make a teacher feel comfortable with the most common and effective types of classroom video creation. In order to give educators the most practical experience possible, they watch and analyze a variety of student created videos on the Internet, read Jason Ohler's Digital Storytelling in the Classroom: New Media Pathways to Literacy, Learning, and Creativity, and use the American Film Institute educator's guide to make weekly videos of their own. The video assignments are designed to empower and give Wilkes' students the confidence to engage their classroom with rich media assignments and encourage their colleagues to do the same. This course will demonstrate how audio, video, and interactive elements can complement and enhance classroom instruction. Students will understand the principles of digital storytelling and how this process can be used in the classroom by developing storyboards and creating rubrics for evaluating digital stories. Various software used for digital storytelling will also be explored.

* Not all courses are offered each session. Please view detailed course schedules.
