The resources on this site were initially donated to the Chemistry teachers of British Columbia as a “thank you” for the support they have given me during my teaching career. I have scoured the available literature for several years to find good, reliable and USABLE demonstrations that illustrate Chemistry concepts in a clear manner and have used most of the demonstrations for several years to help maintain a high level of interest in students. I hope the material on this site proves useful. Jim Hebden |

Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. The topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one's own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between |
