In week 7 we learned about the usefulness of digital storytelling. Digital stories usually focus on specific subjects and contain one or more of the following: text, images, audio recordings, music, and video clips. Throughout my life, I have watched many digital stories such as You Tube videos and never thought about their creation. We were assigned to create our own digital story and I used a website called animoto. I made a thirty second slide show which included pictures of my friends and I and background music. I very much enjoyed creating my own digital story. In class we were introduced to other outlets we could use to create digital stories such as iMovie, PowerPoint, and other websites such as GoAnimate.
In the field of education, digital storytelling will be very useful! Many students are visual learners, and digital storytelling will allow them to view the material being taught to them, rather than just listening to lectures. I believe that digital storytelling will help make each lesson plan more exciting and will help to gain the students' attention. Each of these different venues for digital storytelling make it very easy to stay organized, which is very important when working with children.
Below is a video that describes the usefulness of digital storytelling within education and how it can greatly benefit students.
