What: we are learning about our digital stories and preparing them.
So What: a digital story can be a great tool to get the attention of the class. I believe that we are doing this so we can present subjects that will get kids excited. Far too often I have seen teachers who just print handout after handout to satisfy the curriculum standards. WHY? Why don't those kids deserve a chance to have something more. A digital story can do that for any subject.
Now what: I know that kids are very smart and creative. I would like the chance for my students to create a vidcast, or digital story or something that would wake them up. I am very excited to be proficient at creating a digital story for my classroom. I have listened to my fellow classmates argue and complain about various things they have to do, and I just am surprised that they don't see the value in just doing the assignment. I realize a digital story takes a lot of time at first, but I cant see anything else that wakes the kids up as much as music, pictures and a good story.
