PhotoStory and Reflection

Digital stories help with the learning process in children. Making stories with digital tools allows a student to use critical thinking and hands on media tools and softwares to construct a lesson. Digital storytelling is a great method of allowing a student to express themselves. It teaches them self-expression and lets a student be confident in their own work. "Through creating narratives students develop the power of their own voices." Students must be creative when using digital storytelling and can create their own story pertaining to their own imagination. A student can achieve great measures by the will power of their own imagination and determination to construct a project that expresses themselves. Through images, music, and words a student learns how to display their personality in the classroom. Here is an example of a student's digital storytelling that demonstrates how I might use digital storytelling in my classroom. I want the assignment to be fun, expressive, and result in the student feeling satisfied that their story is worth being proud over. For an extra example of how I might go about doing a digital storytelling, here's a breakdown of how a teacher went about her assignment.
