Digital science stories presented at The Works Children's Engineering conference
Laurie Toll and I presented a workshop on Creating digital science stories at the Works Conference last Monday.
The session inspired educators to create a 21st century learning environment by challenging students to publish science and engineering content for a global audience, motivating students to become better scientists and writers and see themselves as contributors to a larger community. Examples include; podcasts, video, Voicethreads and Google stories.
