The digital story project was effective because it allows you to show the knowledge about something in a unique manner. I feel that students would enjoy this more rather than just learning from their textbook or through a lecture. This activity will show the students how creative they can be; it will also show the teacher as well. Digital storytelling is a way to let the teachers see how well the students are learning and putting their skills to the test. Not only is this a fun activity for the students, but it allows the teachers to see the ability of the students, and it’s certainly more entertaining than grading papers.
ISTE NETS-T
ISTE is a International Society for Technology in Education. Digital Storytelling is a connection with this because it allows the students to promote, support, and model creative and innovativeness. It allows students to engage with digital tools, and show their creativity.
Lesson Plan:
I think the Digital Story activity would go great with a history lesson, say knowing the all of the US presidents. This would probably be for 4th grade students; students could search the web for all the US Presidents in order, and then create a digital story on them. Then, at the end of showing all the presidents they can describe which one is their favorite and say a fact about that particular president. This would be a fun way to recognize all of the presidents; it would be effective as well with Digital Storytelling.
I really like this idea, I think those that really enjoy and love History will do great. My child loves history in school, and would learn alot from this lesson.
ReplyDeleteThe use of the Digital story projects for the US presidents is a great a idea. It's a great to put things in sequential order for easier understanding by anyone who watched the video.
