Experiential Digital Storytelling Workshops
for
English Access Teachers

Teachers create their own digital story first — then lead meaningful storytelling work with students.

STORYCORD supports English Access teachers through experiential digital storytelling workshops aligned with Access program objectives. In each workshop, teachers become digital storytellers themselves — engaging in the same creative and reflective process they later guide students through.

Educator | Digital Storytelling

Jode Brexa

I’m an educator who works with teachers to explore digital storytelling as both a creative practice and a classroom approach. I came to this work through years of teaching students, where I saw how creating stories supported English language learners—especially girls—in using English with greater confidence, reflecting on their experiences, and imagining new possibilities. Those experiences shaped my belief that storytelling is most effective when teachers have time and space to engage in the process themselves first.

In my work with teachers, storytelling begins with making a story rather than learning a set of techniques. Teachers participate as creators before adapting digital storytelling in ways that make sense for their students, contexts, and constraints. Over time, I’ve learned that storytelling works best when we slow down, attend to process, and allow language to develop in human, lived ways. At its core, this work is about creating space for language, story, and possibility.
