Creating Orff Stories With Technology
In this workshop, I will share how to guide your students in creating original Orff stories utilizing technology. Orff stories integrate creative writing, creative movement, and original music, art, and drama. The primary technology tool we will explore is the Book Creator app, but we’ll also look at the DanceMaker and SeeSaw apps. This virtual workshop will include time to experience the process of creating your own Orff story in small groups and to practice using the technology.
