StoryKeepers camp is run by the fabulous Bernajean Porter. The camp is 3 days right before ISTE, June 24-26, 2010.

Pre-ISTE2010 StoryKeepers Camp is a a one-of-kind artistic, learning adventure meant to lift the spirits, imaginations and skills of educators. Participants will not only be ready to take the art of digital storytelling back to their students and other colleagues but also be prepared to guide the reading/writing of ANY multi-media communication.

Expect to make new friends, learn a lot, have fun and leave enchanted with new skills for creating future storytelling!

And if you decide to come to Denver for the StoryKeepers Camp, you can also come to another wonderful pre-conference event – The Constructivist Celebration. StoryKeepers Camp is Thursday-Saturday, the Celebration is Sunday and will be over in plenty of time to attend the opening events Sunday night at ISTE.

Enjoy them both!

For those of you who remember Life Round Here 2007 you may be excited to know that Life Round Here 2009 is now accepting participants!

What we really want students to do is, “Tell us, what’s it really like to live where you live”.

You can use any of a wide variety of tools to create the story, from Microsoft Photostory to Apple iMovie to Voicethread to anything else you can think of.

The requirements are fairly much the same:

1. It must involve students from 10 – 13 years old.
2. Your class/school/group must be able to publish six stories.
3. The stories must be in English or have subtitles in English.
4. Stories must be published and “watchable” by March 31, 2009.

I would also appreciate it if you would consider spreading the word. The official tag for this year’s project is liferoundhere09.

Bonus! Check out Mathew’s session for the K12Online Conference, Film School for Video Podcasters.

Superbonus! Mathew’s site for Digital Storytelling in the Elementary Classroom.
