Digital storytelling is very important. It allows people to connect to difference stories and experiences through their life. For example, I created my powerpoint was about the uses of technology of the children of today. Children of today are connected online all the time wether it be from their house, school or even their cell phones.
Digital Storytelling allows the individuals to connect and retell the same story to groups of people through things like the internet. It also allows the past to come alive for people of this generation. You can see many different types of clothing, houses and even transporation thorough different websites. Digital Storytelling could also allow students to create projects about many different topics. This could then be posted online to be able to reach other people around the world.
Voice thread is a very helpful tool. It allows students to make a memories a story for all different types of people. For example if a presentation is creating over someone getting their first haircut or a job promotion. This can then be uploaded to the internet where the relatives in different parts of the country or the world can see what is going on. Voice thread actually can work well with things like meeting. This is helpful for the people who are out of town or even out of the country. They can record voice comments as well as type in comments about the individual topic. This could also be useful for teachers. For example, if you miss the meeting you can go and see a recap of happen through the Voice Thread and even lead comments. This also helps parents because it allows them to see exactally what the students on a participular topic.
Slide Cast is also very helpful. It allows a student to create a powerpoint. Then add music to the presentation and then post it online for the world to see. For example if a group decided they were going to do a project on a certain baseball team, they could viturally complete a almost all online project. The research could all be done online, then the powerpoint could be created and then the project could be uploaded to the website (http://www.slideshare.net/jboutelle/slidecasting-101). This website is the site that shows you how to create a uploaded presentation. Slide cast is also a new and exciting way to see how the technology is used in the classroom. For example projects can also be created for and from the website. For example, the groups can create a powerpoint presentation on a certain NFL football team. Then after than add the music, and uploaded it the class, the teachers and the parents could all view it.

I really liked your presentation (the video was part of it right?) I never knew that so many people had dyslexia. Well I think as far as inquiry based learning, your right on. Having children become even more comftorable with technology, mainly the internet allows for only a small amount of guidance. Students can really explore on their own, asking themselves questions as they go.
ReplyDeleteI also agreed on using digital storytelling in different curricular areas. I like your idea that teachers can use it among themselves. Being able to connect with parents in a way that actually allows them to see what their child is learning, or how they interact with students, or the teacher is a geat way for them too feel involved.
