Quote:
“Storytelling is a tool for preserving memory, writing history, learning, entertaining, organizing, and healing in communities of color. It is in the telling of stories that communities build identities, construct meaning, and make connections with others and the world” (Raimist, Doerr-Stevens & Jacobs, 2011).
Reflection:
I love doing digital stories. With this tool and technique in the classroom, one can learn so much about their students and their experiences of life. I enjoyed making my own digital story for an undergraduate course in college. It’s not a boring, traditional assignment. It’s one that students really enjoy doing and sharing with other classmates.

I think digital stories are a great way to get to know our students as well! And students love learning more about their teachers in a fun way!
ReplyDeleteI have created the same digital story. It was one of my favorite assignments! I love showing people my creativity while at the same time telling where I am from.
ReplyDeleteStudents do love creating digital stories, it's a great way to express themselves through music and images. I've had my students write an autobiography and then create a digital story without text to express their autobiography.
ReplyDeleteI loved your digital story. It was so sweet. Can't wait to see your next one. (Liked the picture of Jody).
ReplyDeleteGreat digital story. I'm nervous about doing one of my own. I hope that it turns out well.I would love to be able to have all of my students do a digital story and see there perspective on things.
ReplyDeleteI also think students would enjoy creating their own digital stories, but it is a personal experience and some may be a little hesitant to show their inner feelings.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you've made digital stories before. I'm really excited to get started on mine and attempt to implement some type of digital stories into my classroom with my students!
