Storyteller: William Deihl | Bud Deihl

This short video was talks about by practice as an educator and faculty technology consultant. It reveals some of the things which excite me, or "make me tick." The project was created in MS Photostory as an example of using a simple, free tool to create powerful stories with still images and editing features. This example will be used during workshops and faculty consultation to encourage others to use DST in their teaching practice.
