I really enjoyed presenting both longer and shorter versions of the talk I call “Once Upon a Supercomputer — Technology Assisted Storytelling.” This is a talk I first developed quite a few years ago for the Faculty  Instructional Technology Summer Institute at the University of New Hampshire, and have given to a variety of other audiences since.  I really enjoyed meeting so many inspired educators, and sharing with them some of my ideas.  Specifically, I believe that we can learn from thousands of years of human experience, transmitting knowledge through story and apply that to the modern classroom. Imagine for a moment drawing on the power of the storytelling techniques that make a great movie so engrossing, and using them to make classroom lessons equally engrossing. I really believe that this is powerful stuff, and that by using technology effectively we can multiply its power.   This is really the next step from what I wrote in my recent post PowerPoint is the Enemy of Effective Communication!
