Digital Story

     For TE 401, we were to create a digital story based on students conceptions and or misconceptions about a topic they were either learning about or about to learn about in class. My first graders had just done a lesson about magnets, so I asked a few of them to tell me what they learned, so I could get an idea of their thinking at that point. I really enjoyed this assignment because it not only got me thinking about how the students learn, but it also gave the students a chance to tell me what they learned in their words, without having to write it on a paper. We have been discussing in many of my classes the pros and cons of work sheets, so this is a great alternative! This video could also be used to introduce this same lesson for next year. Students might get excited about an introduction done by students their age, or that they may know, rather than always hearing it from their teacher.

Also, I have created a Social Studies Presentation/Lesson Plan.
