Digital Storytelling Unit

 This is a new writing process.  A workshop will be held June 30 and July 1, 2003 but it was quickly filled.  Watch the Ambrose Workshop site for future workshops during the coming school year.

******

A possible new tool for Digital Storytelling is ULTRABUG CLIPOSCOPE .  This site is free.  Try having students create a story as they create the movie.  If you're students have email, they can email their movies to each other.  

New Sites

This site is a lesson that uses an interactive web site called "pageless books" .
