As teachers, we often convey content and explain concepts through storytelling. We tell stories of scientific discoveries and of mathematical algorithms, stories about past cultures and future policies, and stories of physical exploits and musical influences. Effective storytelling is more than a simple relaying facts in a static manner, it is about lighting a fire that leads students to want to discover and explore the consequences and impacts of their learning on the world around them. Come learn how to easily add content and context to the stories you tell using Google TourBuilder. Come away with the skills required to allow your students to tell their own stories using this dynamic tool.
