Digital stories

Digital story telling is a creative way to integrate learning to reading or interdisciplinary subjects. It allows for students to display their learning for the teacher or other peers, as well as engage in a topic that sparks their interest. Digital imaging within these stories produces images that strengthen the meaning for students.  It’s important to engage in the process and allow students to learn about publishing, revising, and editing stories.
Some web-based tools are suggested to assist in creating and designing digital stories. Some examples are WeVideo, YouTube, iPhone, iVideo, and garageband.
Digital story telling is a fantastic way to develop student’s reading abilities, as well as imagination and love for reading. It would be a new, reviving way to implement topics of interest to students’. They could share their story in small groups and this could be a reciprocal teaching project for upper elementary students.
