Discussion on Photostory

We had to create a photostory about a teaching quote. We had to add photos with text to the story. The goal to this project was to make an impact with the video. My quote was "If the student fails to learn, the teacher fails to teach." With my photos I tried to use photos that would help a teacher to teach in a way that makes the student better at learning. I had ended the photostory with the words, "You may impact a student's life", and some teachers may not realize that they got a student through school, because of their class.

This program works with the ISTE NETS number 2. It works with digital learning experiences. Teachers could create their own and teach students or even students creating their own photo stories and show the teacher their own knowledge of knowing how to use technology.

Digital story could promote learning in my classroom in the future because it’s a fun way to learn. Its information that a student may need to know in a different way than a textbook. It is in text form, but the students don't realize it because they are watching a video YOU created so it seems more fun for the students.

As a lesson using digital story I would have students make one at the beginning of the year with them putting what they believe their strengths and weaknesses are in school. Then I could go off of this for the rest of the year knowing what students believe they aren't good at to help them improve in that area. Then at the end of the year have the students make another one to see if the strengths and weaknesses had changed from the beginning of the year.
