What?
The creation of a Digital Story and its relevance to classroom instruction. The article "Technology a Key Tool in Writing Instruction.
So What?
I enjoyed class last week. The digital stories presented an emotional tie in to the curriculum. It was very vivid and dramatic. I recognized that using videos brought the presentation to a whole new level of engagement, one that will definitely interest students. The article on technology and writing helped me see the creation of digital stories as a new way for students to connect to their writing and find their voice. The digital story my group is working on is about recognizing different perspectives that are often left out. We hope to do so in an upbeat manner since so much of what we talk about in regards to literature is on the heavier side of things. I have had some trouble picturing how our digital story will come together though. I am very interested to know what the copyright laws are that pertain to creating digital stories.
Now What?
I hope to take this this experience into my future classroom. I would like to actively be engaged in utilizing technology in the classroom. I can see how digital stories can be used to not only interest students who might otherwise be ambivalent but to also give new insights into those students who are passionate about their topics. I would really like to master this tool so that I may use it effectively.
