This week we took a look at digital stories. I have never learned about these before. I really feel they will be great tools for our students. I think having us make a digital story in our content area will be good for us and give us a chance to understand what they are and how we can use them for our students.
In my classes now, I can use digital stories to help improve and give ideas in writing my lesson plans I am coming up with. Also this will be very helpful to me as a theatre education major so I can learn how to use this technology now before I get in the classroom and the students want to make videos and things like that. I have never made a video like this before so it’s going to be a great experience making one and learning how to do it.
This is going to be a great tool for my students in theatre. When they are trying to come up with an idea for a script they can use this tool to make a storyboard for their own scripts. It will also help if I teach a film unit. They can make a mini movie with a digital story. They can research playwrights and do digital stories on them. They can also make a digital story telling a plot from a play they we may be studying, not only giving the plot but pulling out some ideas from the plot and presenting an interesting point the play may be bringing up.

The video we watched this week was a great example of what our students can produce for a good digital story. I think it was very well done. It posed a good question and let us know about things that we may have not known before. I didn’t know so many astronauts have died. I think the music went well with the story and enhanced it very nicely. I enjoyed the video and I am not a science person at all. I think these digital stories will be good to make to help our student enjoy the subjects a little more.
