So I have written my digital script. Initially, it was hard to narrow down a topic but once I got into the flow of writing, things fell into place. It was motivating for me to find the different songs and pictures to incorporate into my story. I am still nervous as to how to incorporate the music, pictures, and text into the movie....but I will hopefully figure it out. I can not wait to see the final product of my digital story!
I could definitely use this activity when we doing personal narratives for my kiddos. This project would definitely take a lot of prep and patience from me as students muttle through the process however, think of the engagement and motivation of all students!!!.
I definitely, think that once I master this digital storybook, then I could also take this to my building staff members and offer it as professional development.

It's critical that teachers go through the process before they take their students through the same one. That way, teachers will be able to demonstrate not only modeling but also scaffolding to facilitate the learning process.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is don't sell the students short. I actually do this with a class of 4th graders each year (multiple times) and they catch on really fast. It sounds like you are getting it!!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that as you're going through the process of doing this assignment you're already thinking of ways you would use this in your own classroom. Like Diana said, this will help you in how you teach your own students by knowing what hurdles you came across.
