Stories for Change

I'm intrigued by this website I ran across that offers a forum for posting and hearing/watching digital stories about fostering change. The website is: http://storiesforchange.net/
and the home page describes their mission as an "online meeting place for community digital storytelling facilitators and advocates. Learn more about how we're using this unique medium for social change..." Some of the categories for their stories include Education, Family, Identity, Youth, and Immigration.

Awesome Stories: Media resources for educators

We are said to learn best from stories and the Awesome Stories web site puts that strategy to good use by offering narratives about people, events, history and more. Each narrative is enriched with audio and video clips, images, and primary documents. There are databases for all the media that are freely available to teachers once you sign up . Lesson plans are offered as is a monthly newsletter that highlights current events. This month there's the story behind the story of the movie "The Soloist" which talks about music and about schizophrenia. Great resource.
