Creativity, expression, and writing are crucial elements of young people’s education. While these skills seem to be often constrained by the increasing digitalization of our world, modern technology can provide educators with effective tools to involve students in inspiring creative writing tasks. Mastering these new tools is essential for teachers if they are to speak the same language as their young learners, who are digital natives. The course will help teachers improve their capacity for digital storytelling by instructing them on the use of the most effective applications and software. Attendees will discover how to create and edit videos, as well as how to add sounds, graphics, and narrations to projects, using easy and effective tools such as Microsoft Photos and Weebly. By the end of the week, participants will have acquired skills to create audio-visual stories with the support of a variety of ICT tools. They will have created their own project and will be ready to effectively incorporate digital storytelling in their educational programs.
