Describe the digital story project.
In my digital story, I came up with the idea to use the movie Big Daddy as a medium to show how teaching affects both teacher and student. In the movie, Adam Sandler learns about himself by teaching his new "son" things about lift. Not only does he learn, but he grows as a person. At the end of the movie, he has become a successful person because by teaching he learned about the rewards of learning.
Make a connections between the digital story project and the ISTE NETS-T
The connections I made are: creativity, using digital tools, demonstrating fluency in technology, responsibility, and growth and leadership. All of these things came together to create the digital story. Not only did I create a digital story using software, pictures, and music, but I also had to give credit to the things that I used in the story.
Explain how they might promote learning in your future classroom.
Using digital media promotes students to express their opinion and release their creativity. Students may learn better from using a computer to find answers rather than searching for them in a book. Students will also learn that there are more "correct" answers than the ones they read in a book. There can be many correct answers that students can discover by using digital media and communicating with their peers.
Find a lesson plan, activity or idea that involves digital story telling in your content area and describe the activity or idea
In this lesson, students create original stories that include text, drawings, photos, animation, audio, and video. They use technology tools, such as digital cameras and computers, to bring their stories to life. Story ideas can come from personal and family experiences, connections to other cultures, and real or imaginary people, places, or events."

I like this idea as a lesson. I know that my child likes to express highlights from sports and he does this own his own and loves it. Children will be more prone to use something they enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI like that lesson plan. It gets kids brain pumping. Lets them be creative in areas that they need to be creative in. All kids need is a postive way to do things. Once they are able to find this way, the rest is history !
