A special institute at Western Michigan University this summer will show teachers how to use digital storytelling, which involves creating short multimedia presentations for dissemination on the World Wide Web, as an innovative new instructional method. The Institute for Storytelling and Writing through Digital Media will be held July 9-13 on the WMU campus as one of four summer institutes offered by WMU's Third Coast Writing Project.

It has transformed my teaching. This is the next thing in teaching and soon everyone will be doing things like this. Being able to share it with teachers in Southwest Michigan now, while we are right on the cusp of it, is so exciting.
