CEDU 531 week one

How I might use digital story telling in my class. . . I think that it's use is something that could be integrated into most an topic in any area. First, I could see it used as a substitute for certain types of written reports that I assign. An example of where one could be used is a variation on a "book report" that I recently assigned. That was an old fashioned "shoe box diorama" with about a page of written text describing the scene. A digital storytelling would be a perfect way of retelling that scene using a digital camera to take a picture of the students diorama and then a voice over to showcase the writing. Digital storytelling would increase motivation and enhance the report itself in most instances.
