Educators interested in learning how to integrate digital storytelling into their daily teaching activities.
This is a four-week completely on-line course starting on June 5th where participants will learn how to integrate digital storytelling and different Web 2.0 tools into their teaching in order to enhance their daily teaching activities.

During the course we want to unite English teachers from different backgrounds and continents and show them the benefits of learning online and collaborating by joining participants from Argentina and Switzerland encouraging interaction through their digital stories.
Week 1: Introducing to Digital Storytelling: the concept; different simple online tools and the basics.
Week 2: Creating stories with comics: in the classroom; for collaborative projects; for professional development
Week 3: Video and Audio creations.
Week 4: Rounding Off: presenting your projects; visions of future work.
We are going to use an online space specially designed for the course.
