What am I learning? What assignments am I performing? I have been learning about digital stories and how they are beneficial to use in the classroom. I am learning how they create emotion to enhance learning by using pictures mostly rather than using text.
So what does this mean for me as a teacher, student, and colleague today? What does this technology mean to me? Learning and creating digital stories helps me as a teacher to better teach my students a unit where I want it to have an impact on them. Not only that, I hope that it helps them to remember the information and be more involved and want to learn more about the subject by watching digital stories. It helps me as a student to learn how to make digital stories so it will help me to add one more skill that I could have as a future teacher. This technology helps me and students to learn about very important subjects in the history through a different way of teaching. It helps them to remember and feel the emotion from the pictures, music, and video.
Now what does this technology mean to my future students? How will this information change the views of what I want teach in the future? It helps my future students to be able to learn more and truly connect with events from the past or the events that are already happening today. I want them to be aware and feel how other people did during those times. I want them to be able to connect with the stories and have them look back and still remember how they felt. I want to teach way to my students. I want them to walk away from that year in my class remembering not only what they learned, but mostly how they felt. I want them to be able to share with their parents and friends what they learned about and how that changed their perspective. I want my future students to also learn how to make digital stories so they can contribute and show their classmates, friends, and parents and we can all learn from each other that way too.
