Digital Story Example



I came across this video the other day that I made during my last field placement.  Its purpose is to provide a way for students and parents to get to know a little bit about me.  I love creating digital stories and it is a great way to engage students in 21st century learning. This particular digital story does not include audio narration; rather a collection of images, text, and music.  I'm not 100% sure it is considered a "story" without the narration but I'm not sure what else to call it. :)

There are some very helpful tutorials online that can help you navigate iMovie if you are new to Mac.  Here is a link for one I found on You Tube:

Another helpful link I came across that speaks to the educational uses for digital storytelling is: http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/

This would be a great way to engage students in their writing and allowing them to create beyond paper and pencil.

Just thought I would share. :)
