iPad+StoryTelling+APPS

= iPad APPS for Storytelling =

StoryTelling continues to gain popularity as an educational experience creating MORE "sticking power" for concepts a la brain science as well as developing essential communication skills for a media-rich world vying for attention. StoryTelling stimulates deep thinking, creativity and basic literacies; it also enhances and enriches the learning experience for student voices.

Storytelling is an art form that uses a story ARC regardless of digital tools used while modernizing the traditional oral storytelling. It is so much more than "tell about" or "explain something" - it NOT a fact-based unfolding with a beginning, middle and end! Expect students to deliver an artistic experience of a rich, powerful storytelling unfolding a dilemma - a struggle and a resolution organized around a story point or lesson learned. Ensure that there is an insight or strong reflective conclusion that reveals the POINT of the storytelling or message!

Creating an emotional journey in any storytelling is a KEY ingrediant that activates the chemistry in the brain for attention and as "mental velcro." Incorporating emotion is considered essential for activating the brain's chemistry and very powerful for ALL applied storytelling especially in the business world [supported by research] with any audiences be they peers and/or portraying concepts to others about who we are and what we understand through our own stories. This is vital in any community but even more so in an educational setting where we are nurturing and fostering creativity along with DEEP understanding. ======
