Videotelling in practice

During a videotelling workshop, the stories you tell grow out of short online videos.

For example, in the image, Brandon (centre) is telling the story of the clumsiest food delivery guy ever – an incident caught on camera and shared on Instagram.

'Videotelling' is a great way to build storytelling skills and confidence – first for you, and then for your students – without the added pressure of going personal.

How does it work?

A six-unit course

And a new lens for teaching with video and story – with practical ideas to try straight away.
