Painting a Picture: Image Processing for Digital Narratives

On March 3rd MLTI (Maine Learning Technology Initiative) presented a webcast called Painting a Picture: Imagine Processing for Digital Narratives. The facilitator was Ruben Puentedura who provided great information and instruction that can easily be adapted to use with students.

iphoto and Acorn were both tools that Ruben demonstrated to help construct digital narratives such as digital storytelling.  The TPCK and the SAMR models were referenced since MLTI uses both of these models. You can learn more about the models by clicking here.

The session was offered twice on March 3rd. I attended the 7PM session but you can access either session at http://maine121.org/?page_id=410
