Together, we all say, "Digital Storytelling is important for our kids, so it's important to us."For the past 13 years, I've been providing professional development to teachers in the area of digital storytelling. The non-profit for which I am a teacher consultant is called DIGICOM Learning. They focus on promoting and supporting the integration of digital storytelling in classrooms and schools. I feel fortunate to be associated with them, continuing to work toward new opportunities for students.
Every summer, I love teaching weeklong classes to teachers in Palm Springs Unified School District and Desert Sands Unified School District. It's always fun to watch classroom teachers from a wide range of grade levels and subject areas come together as a community.

Having such a unified understanding of how essential media literacy is to our kiddos is unique. For myself, digital storytelling has been a pillar of my instructional practice for the last 14 years. Why has this strategy stuck, when others have fallen by the wayside? I think it's because digital storytelling is student-centered. It doesn't depend on me to deliver; rather, I merely structure learning so that the door is open, and kids are the ones who walk right on through to tell their stories.
