About the Course

This course is designed for educators who wish to enhance their teaching strategies by incorporating alternative story forms (digital storytelling) into their curriculum. Participants will explore various non-traditional narrative techniques, including multimedia storytelling - such as infographics, photo essays, and story maps - as well as podcasts, lists, recaps, and interactive writing. 

By incorporating alternative story forms (ASF) into your classroom, you can help students improve creativity, foster student agency, and develop digital fluency. Students will also be able to connect with authentic audiences for their writing. Finally, we will discuss thoughtful ways to incorporate AI. 

This course is appropriate for k-12 teachers. Teacher librarians, instructional coaches, and administrators will also find value in this course.

Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:

  • Integrate multimedia and technology into storytelling lessons.
  • Identify a variety of storytelling choices and assist students with choosing a fitting format for their work
  • Develop lesson plans that incorporate multimedia components, podcasts, or interactive features and take students through the writing process.
  • Assess student work using criteria appropriate for alternative story forms and Colorado standards.
