Explain that the agenda can be found online here and that is the way you will work through the day through an online agenda. **Facilitator note: Use one of the slides to share information about you and your goals and objectives for the day.**

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Once they have completed their information, play the slide show and have them introduce themselves through the shared PowerPoint. **Facilitator Note: Based on their answers, discuss goals and objectives for session.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Have participants google for what tools are out there for digital storytelling. As they find tools and resources and links they should copy and paste those links to the following [|presentation]. Emphasize that during this time they are just finding out the bare minimums about the tools and listing the options. You will allow them more time to explore each tool more in-depth later. **Facilitator note: You should have already prepared a slide within the presentation with tools you found as a sample for them to see one that is completed. I have included one slide as a sample that is mine. You can keep that one, add yours, or replace with one of your own. If participants seem to be having trouble finding resources, you can tell them they can use these additional resource web pages or as the facilitator you may share these resources as part of your presentation.**
