Blog on Digital Storytelling – Ryan H. – Assign #1C

Digital Storytelling is another example of how teachers convey material onto students differently. Through examples such as: video tutorials, and podcasts; digital storytelling allows students to start/stop material whenever they need and play it as many times as they like. For the student who learns differently, this method of education can prove very useful.

PowerPoint files don’t have to be just that anymore. One can capture various slides and tie it into a file seamlessly that includes audio. As a future teacher, I would like to assign a topic to my students, have them research it, and from that have them put together a video that tells a story on that topic. This would allow students to gain more of an understanding on a particular area of interest because they are investing their own time, and when that happens the students will absorb more information rather than when a teacher presents it to them.
