Reflection # 7

When it comes to a Digital story you have capability’s that are at the palms of your hands. It is a form of technology that is used for storytelling but, instead of an actual person telling a story face to face it is told via a digital image with both video and audio outputs combined. Digital stories are usually not very long and include a narrated section written by a person telling the story. Digital stories not only include a story but also include images, graphics and animations for a visual understanding, music for audio in the background so that your audience gets a better feel for what is being expressed and also include web publishing. Digital stories are very beneficial in education. In the educational world, these digital stories are provided to increase the student’s attention as well as knowledge to new technology. Digital stories allow students to show and learn the way in which they learn (Learning style). It also let students share their work assignments to a larger audience other than a classroom, which promotes collaborative learning. Digital stories also provide motivation to students due to the fact that they can relate to any pass experience or interest they meant have in regards to the digital story. However, digital stories get very easy to crate it requires time, media tools and a good story to write and tell.
In my opinion I believe that these Digital stories are very educational for students. Not only does it open the minds to new things but allows students to share their work with other audiences all over the world. Overall Digital stories provide great benefits which are need in the everyday classroom. As a future educator I personally will be using this method of technology in my classroom. Hopefully in a near future teacher use this method so that every students gets the benefits they are missing.
