Reaction: I agree with this quote. I believe digital story telling is a great way for students to be creative. Making digital stories also provides students with literacy learning opportunities. When students are able to analyze the material they are studying and break it down into a digital story, they are learning a lot. Making digital stories is a great way to allow students to express themselves to others and also see other sides of their classmates. When you are able to tell a story by using technology, this is just amazing. I fill like being able to write a paper would not be as beneficial as being able make a digital story. I feel like being able to narrate your digital story makes it more personal and more people will be able to develop an emotional reaction, rather than just reading a paper. I also believe using digital story telling is a great way to improve students critical thinking and media literacy skills. The more practice students have with working with media and other technical programs, the better their media literacy skills will be. Anytime you can improve a skill, " I say go for it!" I feel like using electronics are a fantastic way to allow the students to be creative and also is a great way and opportunity to express themselves.
I like this video becuase it displays young students in the classroom using technology. I love seeing them using laptops. The students are communicating well with eachother and interacting well. This video portrays the 21st century classroom very well. I admire seeing the students using laptops in the classroom at such a young age. They also were creating digital stories. I think digital stories are a great way to learn about a specific subject. Also, I think digital story telling would be a great and creative way for students to interact with other classmates and get to know eachother better. Being able to do a digital story would be a nice break away from the regular research paper as well. I also was surprised that the students were able to browse on the internet so well. Technology is taking over.

I agree. Digital story telling really helps to keep kids into an assignment and excited to learn. If they know they will be doing something fun with a typical subject that would normally be boring.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your statement. Digital storytelling is a great way for students to express themselves without having to write it down on paper. It gives students the opportunity to expnad there knowledge by using a tool they've never used before.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you. Digital storytelling helps students be creative and also get their stories out. Many students are not good writers or are afraid of what their peers might say, but with digital storytelling, the students gets to express themselves and be creative.
ReplyDeleteI agree too. By uusing and sharing their digital meadia children could also be able to get to know each other through this and see who has the same interests which could start great frinedships.
