Digital Storytelling Reflection

I viewed Caitlyn Smith and Michelle Chavez's digital story about a trip to the zoo. I viewed Juliet Lewis and Stacy Wilson's digital song entitled Battle Hymn of the Repulsive. I viewed Jamie Jensen's digital story of a poem about bugs.

I learned from viewing these three digital stories that there are so many options in digital storytelling! you can do a fractured fairytale with pictures of themselves, like my group did, you can tell a story with pictures off the internet, you can sing a song, or put pictures to a poem. There are so many options available that really lets the creativity shine! I loved looking at everone's digital stories!

I am interested in teaching third grade. Third graders can use digital stories in Literacy. Instead of writing book reports they can create digital stories about book they have read. Also, fluency can be assessed by having them read aloud on their digital story. They could also write their own poetry and turn it into a digital story. I am so excited to use digital stories in my classroom!!
