A good model for children. Helps teach them fluency. It opens the worlds of books to students. It helps children learns above their independent level. Focus on content.
Example: Short about Peter and the Dragon book shows the artists illustration process. Book preview. Information about the author. Use a document viewer-ELMO. Digital Storytelling. Powerpoint presentation. Smart Board-promethian board, google earth to talk about the author. Digital recording of kids reading using different expressions and interpretations of story. Use a projector. Make a video of kids acting out story.

I got to watch the tour by Alisia and Austin about stadiums and Jessica and Stephanie's about wonders of the world. They both did a good job. There are so many uses for Google Earth. It is wonderful to be able to see the world and all of the many places in it so fast. The program can be used to to show places of interest for many different subject areas besides just geography. I like the idea of showing the places where author come from or the location a book is set in. I am definitely going to use it in my classroom.

I love Google Earth. It is a blast to be able to see my house with my car in the driveway. I think that kids will love it and there are so many cool ways that this will be useful in the classroom. This would be a wonderful way to teach geography or anything about what is in the world and to make it come alive and real. I am excited to show it to my boys at home. I can't believe I didn't know anything about this before. Want to track the route of polar bears? Just click here.

It was so much fun to do the movie this week. I learned a lot from watching some of my classmates movies. I watched Stephanie Orme's group's movie which was a trailer for Where the Wild Things Are. I learned how cool the effects can be on the pictures. I also watched Aleisha Boehm's group do their poem. They had lots of pictures of themselves acting it out. I think that kids would have such a fun time doing that also. I also watched Courtney Butikofer's group do their book trailer for The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle. The found some great pictures that tied in so well with the action in the book. I want to teach first or second grade and I think with a little help even they could create a very basic story using Photostory. I'm sure that they would love to hear their voices or see themselves in a movie. They would also have a great time making pictures of using clay to illustrate their favorite stories. I know that I will be using this program a lot to share things with my class and build excitement.

My storyboard is on the previous post. It is based on a Halloween poem by Jack Prelutsky. It is the perfect time of year to use it. I cited all my sources on the last page. I scanned the pictures from the book and will use a CD recording of the author reading the poem. I have loved learning about digital storytelling this week. I think that it is a wonderful tool to use in the classroom. It is great fun for the students and the teacher to create and share a movie with the class, all the while expanding their literary knowledge and storytelling skills. It was very useful to make a storyboard of the scenes I am going to use, as it creates an outline for me and I can see everything from start to finish. I also finally learned how to use print screen to copy my storyboard into Photoshop. Yeah!
