| With support from the Pearson Foundation, Project IMPACT (Inquiry Making Progress Across Communities of Teachers) — an outreach initiative of UC Berkeley's School of Education which promotes school-based professional inquiry communities aimed at supporting beginning teachers in urban schools — gathered eleven teachers in August 2006 to engage in a 3-day "Tech Institute." This hands-on workshop focused on digital storytelling as a tool for teachers to deepen and disseminate their teacher action research, as well as to enhance their curriculum and instruction.
Institute participants developed their own scripts, sourced relevant digital assets to illustrate their projects, took part in peer critique sessions, and finished by creating their digital stories. Throughout, participants considered how to integrate their new multimedia skills into their collaborative inquiry, classroom practice and schools.
