Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling - University of Houston System. About the Course Powerful Tools for Teaching and Learning: Digital Storytelling introduces educators to digital storytelling and explores ways to use digital stories to enhance students’ learning experience.
The course is designed to be comprehensive yet fundamental. By comprehensive we mean that the course provides a solid foundation to all of the components of a digital story and illustrates these components with tutorials, example stories and links to additional readings. The course also provides a hands-on opportunity for learners to create their own digital stories. The course is fundamental because it covers the basic process of creating a digital story starting with just a simple script and as little as one still image.

Opal has had a hugely formative influence on my thinking about using authentic story books in class. RealBook News was originally designed ‘for adults helping children learn English as a foreign language or as an additional language’. When Opal first started producing RealBook News, I immediately signed up.
