Learning about Digital Storytelling from Arizona educator Nancy Pratt

[Wesley Fryer]

Nancy Pratt is a district technology and instruction specialist in Scottsdale, Arizona, and wrote a great post today on the ISTEconnects blog titled, "Digital Storytelling: My Top 10 Lessons Learned." I highly commend this post to you!

I wrote about a project Nancy did with another teacher and students at their school earlier this spring in the post, "Learning About Immigration And Family Heritage Via Digital Storytelling."

You can follow Nancy on Twitter (@npratt) and find her blog "Outside the Box" on http://nancypratt.wordpress.com.
