Professional Development: Digital Stories Institute

Executive Summary:
Here I will write a paragraph or two that will describe the purpose and scope of this document, a brief overview that highlights the key ideas and shape of our method, a highlight of themes that emerged as our results, a conclusion to the summary, and our recommendations.


 * Target Audience : This piece of work is written primarily for Technology Liaisons, however it is not much of a stretch to think that English/Language Arts teachers and content area teachers might find elements of this work that might be easily adapted into their work.


 * Writing Process : This piece of work requires all aspects of writing. Stories evolve from pre-writing activities, are drafted, given feedback, revised, edited, and ultimately published.  At issue in the writing process is where feedback is given (should it be digital?) and what is published (just the final 'story' or should the text also be published?).


 * Assessment Practices : This case study represents the use of formative assessment. Specifically, peer assessment, in the form of feedback, is used to facilitate the revision process or the formation of the final piece.  As for workshop assessment, we used reflective writing (described and discussed later) as our assessment tool.

Introduction:

 * This narrative section should introduce readers to the content of the demonstration. This section should:

 * explain the subject's worth, significance, and pertinence.

Process:

 * In this section you may use a combination of narrative and listing in order to adequately convey the process around which your demonstration is focused. In this section you should:


 * use transitions that form a unite line of argument
 * choose a structure that matches the purpose and audience.
 * organization flows so smoothly the reader hardly thinks about it.

Applications and Examples

 * In this section, discuss your applications of this activity and provide specific examples.
