"Teaching is the most important profession in any democracy. Michael Hernandez has written a wonderful book that anchors storytelling in the classroom and provides a highly readable and hugely helpful guide for teachers who each day are taking students on an intellectual journey that is critical to the wellbeing of our country."

After nearly 25 years in the classroom and working with educators around the world, I'm publishing a book that brings all of my ideas together to help solve some of our most existential challenges in education: rapid changes caused by artificial intelligence, and low student engagement. My solution: using non-fiction multimedia projects--digital storytelling--as a framework for learning.

This book is perfect for learning coaches, classroom teachers, and education leaders seeking practical ways to elevate teaching and learning practices in every grade level and subject area. The book focuses on student-centered, project-based learning experiences that use digital tools to:
  • Create uncheatable assessments
  • Leverage curiosity as the engine for learning
  • Provide purpose for the skills and knowledge central to our curriculum
  • Cultivate digital literacy skills and ethical mindsets
  • Bring purpose and joy back to learning
