Tool #7

In your blog, write a short post about your experience with digital storytelling. Include how you might have students use digital stories in your classroom.


Digital storytelling serves as a good visual for learners to synthesize their learning in a clear, candid way! The use of photo stories provides many opportunities for students to share information, edit its content and publish the information for others to critique. Students can research an array of topics, gather the information they would like to share, and finally create a video with sounds and visual aids provided in digital storytelling. In addition to the publisher sharing their understanding, their audience can learn something new! Whether it's volcanoes in science, problem-solving in math, or Dr. Seuss in language arts, digital storytelling opens many opportunities for students to tell a story about their understanding of the subject at hand!
