**Welcome to Glacier Valley's Digital Storytelling Wiki!**
Glacier Valley's after-school club members have their own wiki page as a place to reflect on the digital story-making process, type and edit their scripts, as well as provide comments and suggestions to other fellow club member pages.

Our spring 2009 Digital Storytelling club meets on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Club members split their time between Mondays and Tuesdays to help lower the adult-student ratio and then the entire group meets on Wednesdays to continue work at their own pace on their digital stories.


 * Mondays:** Sonny, Andrew, Lily, Siosiana, Laurel, Malcolm, Rose
 * Tuesdays:** Bryson, Mattison, Austin, Tyler, Gabby, Lacey, Suzanne

Here is the [|Digital Storytelling Planning Sheet] that each student is using to help guide them through the process
