In class we had to make a digital story of a teaching quote. In our story we had to explain our quote and what it meant to us. We could either do a text and music story or a narration story. I chose to do a text and music and my quote was "Who Dares to Teach Must Never Cease to Learn".
The digital story goes along with the second ISTE-NETS about creating digital media to teach students about problems in the world. This allows students to show their understanding of a concept while using different types of media. The students can then personalize their digital story how they want to.
The students would be so engaged in these digital stories because no matter what happens they have to think about what they are putting in the story and making sure that the content is correct. This allows the students to be creative and remember what they put in the story.
If I were using digital stories in my classroom, I would use them to make sure the students got the concept and understanding of history. It would be a good way to see if the students really understood in depth how bad the late 19th and early 20th century was for America. I would see if they could make up a plan on how to get America out of the depression and see of all of the different videos and the creativity the students have.
Great response, and I like your lesson idea for photostory!
