TEL.A.VISION Founder George Johnson will be speaking at the Digital Storytelling Special Interest Group at the International Society for Technology in Education at the Denver Convention Center on June 29th from 4:45- 6:15 in Room 505/506.

His topic will be the “The Power of Creating Vision Videos with Students.”

George will share stories and show examples of how vision videos have helped students from Special Ed to the Gifted and from 4th grade to High School Seniors make a transition in their lives.

“With all of the talk about career and college preparedness, policy makers are missing the importance of first making sure each student has a vision for what they want to do in their lives,” said George. “Digital Storytellers are needed to fill in the gap.”

Along with host Bernajean Porter, author of “DigiTales – The Art of Telling Digital Stories”, participants will get to experience the power of the mind, the ease of creating a vision for your life and tools to help with the process.

A discussion will also be held on the recent discoveries in Neuroplasticity, studies that show that you can change the structure and function of your brain with your thoughts. In other words your thoughts matter.
