What am I learning? What assignments am I performing? I have been learning a few things in the classroom about what we can use in our digital stories. It seems like these students are very interested in technology and for learning new and fun things. I think it will be a good idea to do our digital story on the entertainment of Ancient Rome involving the chariot races and gladiator battles for our subject in our digital story.
So what does this mean to me as a student, teacher, colleague today? It means that I can be able to use different lesson plans or units by using digital stories for these lessons. It can make it interesting and fun for students to each get a different feel for what they think the chariot races and gladiator battles would have been like. They can infer what they think would have happened at these events and why people wanted to attend them. I can explain to students of what entertainment events we attend and why and what makes it fun and interesting for us. I can help students relate to the Ancient Roman people of what they liked to do for fun.
Now what does this all mean to me as a future teacher? I think that creating a digital story like this and for other units where its applicable, will help students to feel and see what the event may have been like by using pictures and music. It helps them to expand their creativity and what they may be already learning in the classroom and in their lives. I hope that by doing this digital story, they will have the desire to create their own and be excited about the unit and lesson that they will be taught and will hopefully remember for a long time.
