Digital Story Explanation

For my digital storytelling I decided to tell a story about myself with images of me that have helped define my college career. While some of the images do not pertain to my life here at MSU, every image in the storyboard was taken while I was a student here. Every image has a special memory attached to it, which is why I choice these particular images. My life here at MSU has really helped define who I am as a person, and I feel as though I am ready to go out into the world on my own and make a name for myself, and these pictures give you a glimpse into this life changing experiences I have had here. I think this would be a good tool to use in the classroom to help students and or parents get to know me and where I am coming from. Building a sound classroom community it vital for learners, and I believe if teachers open up and show students they are like them students will be better able to relate to them and feel more comfortable in the classroom.

  1. I think your idea for incorporating digital story telling into the classroom is a good idea. It is a great way for children to get to know a teacher, and thats kind of what I was leaning towards too in my blog. When showing my mom the digital story tellings last night (shes a teacher also) she wanted to use it for students to see her trips and also a way to show news letters infront of the class! I think they can be used alot in the classroom!
