#ET4Online 2014 #ugstSTORY Workshop
This document summarizes a workshop on using digital storytelling with first-year students to help with career and major exploration. The workshop covers using connectivism and self-authorship to help students learn about themselves, explore educational and career options, and make major decisions. Digital storytelling allows students to engage in exploration, connection, curation, collaboration and reflection. These strategies help students develop self-knowledge, educational knowledge, occupational knowledge and decision-making skills. Social media can enhance this process by facilitating connectivity, community-building and sharing of resources.
