Digital+Storytelling+Project

= Digital Storytelling Project =

In my opinion, the digital storytelling project was the most enjoyable out of all the assignments this semester. Not only was it the most enjoyable, but I also learned a great deal about technology from it. This assignment gave me the chance to use technology that I have yet to experience, while also forcing me to be creative and original. Although the internet provides an unlimited amount of tools to use in the classroom today, such as powerpoints, videos, games, etc., I feel as if there is always something that I would modify about the tool before using it in my classroom. After learning how to use iMovie on my Macbook from this project, I now will be able to create a multimedia project the exact way that I would want it. Creating an original multimedia project to use in a classroom curriculum allows me as the teacher to create something that is unique to my students' needs, strengths, and weaknesses. With all of the advanced technology in this time period it is becoming more and more difficult to engage students into lessons because there are so many distractions. An iMovie is an interesting way to introduce a topic to students while delivering it in a way that relates to their generation. Also, if enough students are intrigued by this form of presentation, it may also be motivation for the students to learn how to use this tool themselves.
