This week I had the opportunity to explore Digital Story
tools, as well as, create my very own Digital Story! At first, the thought of creating
my very own story felt overwhelming! However, using the resources developed by
Alan Levine, I was able to decide on a topic and get to writing! Creating a
Digital Story was both enjoyable and at times frustrating. The pro of Digital
Story making, is that it really allows you
to be creative as you make the story your own. For my assignment, I decided to
use Storybird. I was introduced to Storybird during a Professional Development
day. We were provided with little time to truly explore the website in depth. I
figured this was the perfect opportunity to revisit the site and learn about it
by “doing” (creating my own Digital Story). In order to incorporate this tool
into my classroom, I will need to create several more example stories, to
further my understanding of the specific Digital Tool I am using. Digital Story
tools offer the opportunity for educators to liven up their everyday
instruction.
Great post and AWESOME idea to explore Storybird in more detail for our class. That's the purpose of this class... :-)
