I am currently learning about digital stories in my TE 401 science and social studies classes. I have completed a digital story assignment for the social studies portion, and it is an awesome way to incorporate technology in the classroom. We attended a museum, right here in Lansing, and took pictures of a certain category with our group members. My group was assigned toys, so we snapped shots of toys from various time periods. Then we proceeded with the project by doing a little research on Michigan toys, the economic stand point of these toys at the time, and compared toys then, to today's toys. We put our pictures together in a slide show, recorded our voices talking about the research we found, and put a little Motown music with it. This is an awesome way to introduce a new unit to a class of students using technology.
I am still figuring out the science digital assignment, since we have to incorporate a lesson plan, and interview students for the story. Luckily we get to work in pairs, so I'm hoping we'll have this figured out soon. As we progress, I'll try to post again about how we went about this task!
