Teaching Online Through Visual Storytelling

1:15 PM - 2:30 PM

Presentation Description

This study explores the use of visual storytelling in the online learning environment and the purposeful use of technology that would allow us to create a truly visual online learning experience.

Storytelling can be traced all the way back to our ancestors. They left us many stories that paint a vivid picture of everyday life of ancient times on cave walls, scrolls, and artifacts. These stories have been passed on from generations to generations. It’s historical data that transcends time.

Just like our ancestors we also are visual creatures. We watch our televisions to get the news, we use our mobile phones to find our way home and we look at street signs that tell us when it is safe to cross the street. We learn from reading books and we learn to read from looking at the words and pictures from a storybook.

Learning Objectives

1. Will learn why Storytelling is been an important method for sharing and interpreting human experiences
2. Will learn to simplify a lecture and how to make it less scary for a student.
3. Will learn the basics of Adobe Spark Web.
