Do you need professional development points for certificate renewal, or maybe even college credit?  Or do you just want to attend a GREAT workshop and learn about digital storytelling and how to integrate into your curriculum?

Consider participating in our Celebrate Kansas Voices Digital Storytelling Project this summer on the Kansas State University Campus.  http://celebratekansas.ning.com

Please consider and forward this information to any teacher you know.  This workshop is available for professional development points as well as college credit.  (College Credit optional).

This project was started by Wesley Fryer (Moving at the Speed of Creativity) in Oklahoma nearly 3 years ago.  They have trained over 500 teachers already and have 16 workshops scheduled this summer.

It is an amazing project and can be implemented in every grade level and content area.  We are starting here it in Kansas this summer and going to replicate what they have done in Oklahoma.  Except, we have one key advantage, we can learn from them.  It is powerful, and the workshop is a ton of fun and you will leave with a finished project and all the skill and know-how to implement it into you own classroom curriculum immediately.

Wesley and his team of trainers are going to do this first workshop. An additional goal is to get a core group of teachers trained to present the CKV workshops around the state in the future. So, we are hoping some of you that attend this first CKV workshop as a participant will be interested in becoming a CKV trainer.  By the way, you will get paid to conduct these workshops as a trainer.

So please consider this opportunity, and pass this along to any teacher you know.  Enrollment is limited to 25 participants, so don’t delay enrolling.

You will find the registration form at our Ning site.  And don’t forget to join the Ning site.

Course description information for those interested in College Credit

Title: Celebrate Kansas Voice: Digital Storytelling for K-12 Teachers
CKV is a statewide digital storytelling project empowering learners to become digital witnesses, archiving local oral history and sharing that history safely on the global stage of the Internet. Our project is starting in 2010, based on the successful Celebrate Oklahoma Voices project which started in 2006.

Participation in all three days of this educational workshop is required. In addition, each participant is expected to CREATE AND SHARE AT LEAST one digital story WITH STUDENTS in the six month period of time following the workshop. Our goal is that you will USE the knowledge and skills you gain in this workshop, and actually help students CREATE digital stories by interviewing local veterans or others in your community. Optionally, you can apply to co-teach / facilitate a “Celebrate Kansas Voices” for other teachers as well as students, if desired. We expect you to CREATE and SHARE at least one digital story made with students following your participation in this workshop.
