Reflection #9: Digital Story

These past few weeks we have been learning about digital stories and have been asked to come up with a digital story to show in our classroom for field experience. We have the topic of 4th grade Utah Geography. We are coming up with an awesome digital story. I am excited to get it finished and polished and let people view it. Digital stories are a great way to introduce different types of topics and do different things with. You can make a digital story with almost anything that you can find information and pictures on. I can use digital stories in my different classes and in my future classes for the program. Digital stories are an easy way to make something interesting and get peoples attention and minds thinking about those different things. This technology can make life much easier or more difficult. If you are a perfectionist like i am, coming up with the perfect digital story can take forever! It will most likely cause much stress as well. This technology can be very helpful to my colleagues and partners for field. Like I said you can make things more interesting by making your topic into a digital story and using the technology we have been provided by many different sources. My future students will be able to have a hay day with this technology. I look forward to teaching my students how to make digital stories and letting them go at it and see what they come up with. I can be a much more influential teacher by using digital stories in my future classroom. This technology is so fun and i cant wait to be able to make different kinds of digital stories to teach my curriculum in the future. I am way excited to start field and use the smart board at my school and learn more about the technology that they use!
