Digital Stories

Overall our experience with digital stories will be different for each one of us. I feel that there are a couple situations that I could implement digital stories into my classroom, but not all too many since I teach math. I have created a WebQuest for my students to explore and discover fractals with and I believe that this could be changed to incorporate digital stories. For the project students would need to explore four different viewpoints of fractals; a historian, an artist, a mathematician, and an applications expert. Examining these four different viewpoints will encourage them to analyze fractals as well as how they have been and are used today which are significant sections on Bloom's Taxonomy. Instead of having students create a PowerPoint I could have students create a digital story about the information. For our school it would be difficult because we do not have microphones on the individual computers. I believe students would work on many important 21st century skills such as building a quality presentation through images, video, the spoken word and/or music.
