My students are K-8th graders, in a Chicago Public School. They are curious, collaborators, and have a lot to say! We are beginning a new Digital Storytelling class focused on analyzing the media of our students lives. Students in this class will analyze theprint, video and social mediathat they engage with every day. Then, they will participate in the conversation by creating media of their own. Our students will be learning tools and techniques to communicate in our increasingly visual world. We are grateful for your support in helping them to use their voices and tell their stories.
