Now that a bulk of the work on my final project has been completed I’m starting to feel like I’m able to see the end. My thoughts that I posted yesterday haven’t changed. I was a little distraught watching Alice’s frustration trying to use bubbleshare (that was going to be one of my tools). I willing to give it the good old college try tomorrow but if I’m not successful right away I not going to stress about it (yeah right).
I’ve learned a lot about digital storytelling and how easy it is to implement. I’m thinking that I can easily integrate this from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade (the grades I’m working with). Each grade level would have a little more than the previous class in order to keep it fresh. I’m sure this will be like most things with technology the students will grasp it early on and the whole unit shifts down.
I’m hoping that my work might inspire others to try using the technology to duplicate my goals within their classroom. I’m thinking elementary teachers can grab the concept easily, foreign language teachers can latch on under that foreign tongue, and langauge arts teachers can incorporate literary elements very easily. I’m more than willing to share some of the tricks I learned (both in a PC or Mac environment).
