CEDO530 - Post #2 - In What Ways Can I Use Digital Storytelling in What I Do?

In Digitales, a story idea that was suggested is to "create the story of the impact of a grant on the students". I really like this idea. Throughout the last few years, our district has been part of a consortium with 6 other districts where we write for large grants that focus on technology integration in the classroom. Since participating, our district has received over $8,000 in technology purchases that we have used to assist us in incorporating 21st century skills into our classrooms. Every few months, I have to report to the school board on technology updates throughout the district. Instead of just giving a report on what we've been doing, wouldn't it be cool to create a short digi-story showing the board members how teachers/students are using the technology in their classrooms? Most board members never make it into the classroom and several aren't aware of new educational technologies. I think they'd appreciate a visual story rather than my boring report.
