Intoduced to Digital Stories...



What? What a great day to come to class today! Dr. Waters talked about creating digital stories. I was pleasantly surprised what they were. I thought they were stories that you could read along or be read to. I didn’t realize it was a story you can tell with or without words. I really thought many of the examples she showed in class were pretty powerful. It’s going to be an interest project to complete.

So What? Know I get to create a “small” movie per say. My field partner and I are going to work together to complete this project. We are going to create a digital story that we can use with our fourth grades we are going to be working with this fall. We are going to try to complete this project in three weeks or less. We would like to use this digital story to introduce the Mountain Men and Trappers that that influenced Utah.

Now What? I think once I go through the process of creating a digital story I will know if it’s worth it. From the examples that Dr. Waters showed in class I was pretty moved by certain ones. They can be used to introduce a topic and it can really catch the student’s attention. I look forward to completing my assignment with my group.
