Point Of Learning With Pete Hall. Leadership In Teaching And Learning.

About: This week we meet Dr Jason Ohler, a professor emeritus, writer, teacher and storyteller. Ten years ago, I found an amazing resource on storytelling. A short book by Jason, that spoke to the heart of what a great story really is, and how we can make our own from local ingredients. It changed my practice forever. Over the last thirty years, Jason has taken his skill for communicating the value of story to help his school, university and community students develop the new literacies they need to be successful in the digital age.
