Summary

Your host, Steve Worona, will be joined by Joan Getman, and the topic will be "Digitally Literate Storytellers."

For the student researcher, digital literacy is about navigation, assessment, citation, and incorporation of credible digital information from ever-expanding resources. But digital literacy extends beyond intelligent consumption to encompass production and storytelling—skills that are emerging as essential to teaching, learning, and scholarship. This seminar will examine the importance of storytelling and related skills in teaching and learning.
