Benefits of using digital storytelling in the classroom would be the ability to "teach" a lesson on the screen while walking around the room to help those who are struggling and students could also use digital storytelling to teach each other or show their parents what they are working on in class. Challenges would be time, ability to use the technology outside of school, and privacy concerns. Some parents may not want their child to participate in digital storytelling because they do not want the Internet to have a direct connection to their child at this age.
Using the digital storytelling video I created during Daily 5 for Read to Self or Read to Someone will allow me more time to do guided reading with others instead of having to repeat the login steps every 5 minutes. The best way for me to integrate this into the curriculum is to post links from my classroom blog to reach the parents about math, handwriting, sight words, and reading.

ReplyDeleteI do think it is a great idea to have the lesson on the screen while I walk around the room. Many students are visual learners and need to see a lesson repeated more than once. I could work with the students individually while others watched the video. I also like the idea of using it as a "center" especially during math.
There could be issues of privacy concerns but hopefully we can work that out. I think the students would really love to participate and be the "teachers" on the video.
I love love this!! It really helps students become self-directed. So great!
ReplyDeleteCool idea to make videos for the parents. It would give them insight into what their child is learning in the classroom, and can give them more tools to work with their child at home.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of digital story telling allowing the teacher to have more time to meet with small groups! I would love to try this in math so that I can meet with students who need intensive interventions.
ReplyDeleteI love this video!!! I am going to use this with my parents. Thanks for sharing :)
