Mrs. Pitts and I are having a discussion on research projects using Digital Storytelling for middle school students. I plan to incorporate information from this discussion as part of our group project. We (group) are looking at different grade levels of how to utilize Digital Storytelling in Elementary School, Middle School, and Special Education.
I really enjoyed listening to your conversation. It was an great way to present the information. Much more engaging then me just talking to the camera. I liked how she mentioned that you should make a different kind of story so that you don't bias the student in what they plan to make. I have a teacher now who is so very careful of the example that she gives because one year she had only copies of the project and no new ideas. I look forward to seeing your DS.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great discussion with your colleague! I agree that digital storytelling can be a great creative opportunity for students to express what they have learned in their research for your health class. In the end the students will still learn the desired objectives, but they will use technology in a purposeful and directed way to show what they know. Outstanding idea!
