What? I am learning about digital stories. This week we have to fill out the storyboard which includes an idea for an image and script for that image.
So What? This means to me as a teacher a great way to organize my digital story before it comes to life. With using the storyboard it makes it easy to see how everything will play out. The great thing is that it can be easily changed at any time such as the order of the images etc. We are doing this to organize and write our ideas down before we actually start producing our digital story. If we just started our digital story without doing a rough draft it would probably not flow correctly and we would have to spend a great amount of time editing. This technology is greatly appreciated because I am a very organized person so with using the storyboard chart it is indeed beneficial! This is great with my colleagues because we can share and compare ideas we have for our digital stories if we were doing it on the same topic etc. Then we are able to get ideas from each other and come up with one final storyboard.
Now What? The storyboard will teach my future students how to put their thoughts and ideas down in an organized manner. Assignments I can give my students are introducing a topic and having them go home and get ideas for their digital story then they can come back to class and fill out a storyboard. I would hope that this would help me become a better teacher by preparing students in the process of digital stories. There is a lot of behind the scenes that make digital stories work. It is important for me to take it step by step and not to fast as we start this process of making a digital story. I want my future students to know that the sky is the limit for digital stories as long as they meet the criteria they are able to create anything!
