I have been asked by Mary Hillis, if I would be willing to be the Guest Speaker of Week 4 at Images4Education.

In this six-week online workshop offered through the Electronic Village Online, participants will be introduced to various online image manipulation tools and will learn how to effectively incorporate these resources into their teaching practices. They will explore how images can be used in educational settings for photo sharing, storytelling, slideshows and comics creation, as well as understand how Creative Commons licensing can be beneficial for classroom use. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the chance to develop a plan to begin incorporating digital production into their lesson plans.

Mary asked me to prepare a 45 minute presentation for an Elluminate session exploring the potential that storytelling has for the classroom, especially for ESL/EFL and other language teachers.

Here are my embedded examples, I am planning on using for the presentation, which will be held on Sunday, February 8th.
