We will begin by discussing the steps in developing and writing a script for the digital story you will create in this course. In Week 2, we will focus on scriptwriting, storyboarding, and Creative Commons. Teachers in the state of Texas may be eligible to receive Continuing Professional Education units if they complete the major requirements of the course. Course participants will use WeVideo (), a free web-based video editing program, to create a digital story that could be shared both online and with students in the classroom.

This course is intended for K-12 teachers in all disciplines, although it is open to anyone with an interest in digital storytelling. The course is fundamental because it covers the basic process of creating a digital story starting with just a simple script and as little as one image. The course also provides a hands-on opportunity for learners to create their own digital stories. By comprehensive we mean that the course provides a solid foundation for all of the components of a digital story and illustrates these components with tutorials, example stories, and links to additional readings. The course is designed to be comprehensive yet fundamental.
