Courses

I am creating courses for educators who want to explore aspects of digital storytelling, service learning and global citizenship and I would love to see you join me and a team of like-minded educators online. 

Three cohorts of educators have taken "Becoming a Digital Storyteller" and teachers in all cohorts have immediately designed and launched new digital storytelling experiences with students. It's exciting and transformative work! Not only will digital storytelling lead to greater student engagement and deep learning in your classroom; it will also amplify your service learning and global citizenship experiences and enhance literacy and communication skills.

The next session of "Becoming a Digital Storyteller" will run in September 2022 (registration will open in August 2022). 

Becoming a Digital Storyteller

This ​4-week course involves 1-2 hours of asynchronous learning each week as well as a 1-hour synchronous zoom session with the educators in your cohort. It is designed to introduce you to the power of digital storytelling and equip you to coach and lead your students as well as produce your own content to publish online. 
NEXT COURSE: SEPTEMBER 2022

What people are saying about "Becoming a Digital Storyteller"

Tiwana Merritt

Service Learning Co-ordinator
​American Int. School of Johannesburg

"Taking LeeAnne Lavender's course on digital storytelling has given me the opportunity to explore more ways of staring our service learning work with a wider audience. It is a great way to engage with our families as they aren't able to come on to school campus. The weekly meetings with my peers in the course was a real highlight as we were able to trial the various options the course content provided then share back our successes. LeeAnne's positive energy and encouragement has helped me grow in my confidence to work with digital content in a way that I was not able to prior to this course. Thank you!"

"LeeAnne’s course on digital storytelling is one of the best professional learning experiences I’ve had as an educator. The live sessions were so inspiring, and I took so much away from it in both ideas and practical resources.
​I have already put much of it to use. Highly recommended to any educator looking to develop service learning and increase student engagement at their school."

Lisa Hawkins

Director of Innovation
​Houston Christian School

"The weekly digital storytelling classes were a wonderful mix of sound educational research, practical tools, creative problem solving, and inspiring conversation. They were a highlight. The asynchronous work between classes allowed me to practice new skills at my own pace and in my context. As a result, I finished the "Becoming a Digital Storyteller" feeling more confident in my ability to create digital content and I felt supported and inspired by the others in the class."
