Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling is a different use way to use technology in the classroom. It allows students to be creative, and have fun while they learn. recently had the opportunity to create a digital story in my Instructional Technology for K-12 teachers class. I really enjoyed making a digital story myself, and could see how the students would love to be able to create one as well. You are able to add pictures and record your voice as the photos play.  By doing this you are creating a story, and learning at thee same time. Being able to incorporate technology like digital storytelling makes learning more exciting. It is definitely better then simply reading the assigned chapter and going the review questions at the end of the book.

I found a video on You Tube of a history teacher who did not have much of a background in technology, but learned to love it once she discovered digital storytelling.
