 Engaging
Students through Digital Storytelling
Presented by Dorie Conlon Perugini
Date: March 21, 2013
Time: 7:00pm - 8:00pm EST
In today’s digital age, sharing stories with our global
community is becoming more common as new technologies
and apps make creating digital storybooks quick and
easy. In this webinar we will discuss the advantages of
using digital storytelling in the elementary foreign
language classroom. We will also explore how to use the
tools you already have available to create beautiful
digital stories that fit seamlessly into your
curriculum.
In celebration of NNELL’s 25th anniversary, all three
webinars are free to NNELL members.
Non-members may participate for $35 per webinar. To
