Digital StoryTelling: Care to Share

Digital Storytelling

Digital Storytelling is a WONDERFUL tool to have in the classroom. As a teacher, I value this tool because I can create the slideshare, voice thread, or slidecast and use and re-use the same lesson plan again and again. From the students point of view, it would definitely change up the daily schedule to have technology weaved into the classroom every once in a while, and the lesson might even “stick” better with me because it is technology and I surround myself with technology on a hourly basis.




Above is a slideshare video that I would use for a lesson plan in my unit plan for Communication:  Conflict Resolution:  Importance of Sharing. The slideshare program is a helpful tool in any classroom. It allows for a smooth transitioned PowerPoint/video with which you might choose to add a voice thread to or to edit to add more interest to.

The idea of the slideshare is to provoke inquiry-based learning, where the students view the presentation and then are enticed to ask and answer questions about what they just learned. The instructor could then advance the lesson by asking the students to role-play, in order to further encourage the lesson at hand.

For more of my idea, check out my Lesson Plan! :D
