I have been totally awed by the technology we have been learning in our ICT sessions. There is so much potential for being creative in the classroom. I can just see my students' faces having the opportunity to use technology which intrigues them so much. I can see the potential for engaging our boys and girls who have so much energy that need channeling into positive directions.
I loved the e books and after being introduced to concept of digital storytelling I was intrigued once more. It is not confined to just the Language Arts but its uses span across the curriculum.The types of Digital Stories I have noted from reading are Personal Narratives,Stories for Historical Events and Stories that Inform or Instruct.
Participation in creating and designing stories using this method,allows for a range of literacy skills to be used. These skills used would be research,writing,organization,technology,presentation,interpersonal problem-solving and assessment skills.
Therefore, with so many skills being used and students love for technology, why not harness it and use it as a way of learning?
