Digital Storytelling

This week I had my first encounter with digital storytelling. I don’t think I even knew of the “genre” of technology. We watched some really cool examples of other people’s digital storybooks, and one was of a 3rd grade student. So I thought to myself, if he can do this, then surely I can. We didn’t complete our storybooks this week, but we started the initial work for them. We’re doing an awesome poem and we’re going to put it altogether next week. Scary part—singing on our storybook! Ah! I think this would be awesome to use with my class, and it doesn’t seem extremely daunting, so I think it would be very good to use with students, even in the younger grades you could find ways to allow them to participate in the process. Digital storybooks get an A+ in my book!
