Welcome to Searingtown School's
TELL
ME A STORY
Imagine that we can share stories about the people, places, traditions,
and objects in our lives to help us understand that we all share
common experiences, and that we are much more alike than we are
different. By sharing our stories, we can connect with each other
in special ways.
Imagine that we could support and extend our stories by using technology
to enhance our voices with imagery and music.
What if we could record our stories from the past for the future?
What if we could tell stories of the future today?
Tell Me a Story is a project-based learning model that asks students
to investigate their past, present and future to promote understanding,
which is true knowledge. We invite you to browse through the suggested
activities on this website and participate.

"Every community has a memory of itself.
Not a history, nor an archive, nor an authoritative record...
A living memory, an awareness of a collective identity woven of
a thousand stories."--Center
for Digital Storytelling

"Let us ...recognize that there are
ties between us
All men and women, living on the earth
Ties of hope and love, sister and brotherhood
That we are bound together
With a desire to see the world become
A place in which our children can grow free and strong"
--"Shed a Little Light," Lyrics
