Hi there,
Some of our favorite stories from across the WeVideo education community involve surprise meetings of minds; the second grade teacher inspiring the university professor, or the graduate student launching a research project after seeing the digital story of a middle school student.
We lead this month’s issue with two higher education stories from Professor Bernard Robin and Dr. Shane Jenks, each revealing and thought-provoking for anyone in education at any grade level. Read on as we highlight exclusive new features made possible through WeVideo’s partnership with Microsoft. We’ll share details of our updated Getting Started guide for teachers. And, for those just jumping into digital storytelling, we have a very special extra discount available for a limited time.
Long before a smartphone in every pocket and a laptop on every desk put incredible tools in reach of most educators, Professor Bernard Robin of the University of Houston recognized the potential power of digital storytelling. In this revealing piece, Professor Robin shares his secrets for “setting the table” for students and explains how a simple image can be a catalyst for helping any student unlock the rich narratives hiding in plain sight.
