There is power in telling our stories and sharing them with others. This video celebrates the learning that took place in the Surrey School District during Year One of our Innovative Learning Designs Project. The focus for the video was to explore how we, as educators, might facilitate and transform the story-telling skills of our students through the integration of technology in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>As Lisa Domeier de Suarez (former Teacher Librarian Helping Teacher) visited the various pilot schools and talked to the students and teachers involved she discovered the myriad ways students were using technology to tell their stories. \u00a0Ms. Domeier de Suarez noted the wide range of age groups and ability level able to participate in these projects.\u00a0 The students readily embraced the possibilities and transformative directions made possible by the use of various technological tools and by being connected with the outside world through web publishing.<\/p>\n<p>Students of all ages and ability levels were able to create: eBooks, movies, animations, stop-motion movies, demonstration videos &#8212; even alternative \u2018histories\u2019 of civilization &#8212; to tell their stories and share these stories with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The response of those involved was overwhelmingly positive. \u00a0These story-telling projects were opening doors for students to share themselves with the world and each other in new and exciting ways. \u00a0There was a palpable sense in those interviewed that they were just beginning to discover the possibilities available; where this could go in the future was anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/57331376\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Note:<\/em> Thank you to Chris Walton, LST Teacher, for writing this guest post.
