Digital Story Telling

I found that this assignment was a challenge to complete. Using Slideshare was something brand new to me. I took sometime pieces pictures and information. After a significant amount of research and reflecting upon what i had done using VoiceThread, slideCast or slideShare is something fairly easy and useful. Digital story telling is a great and new way to communicate information. Digital story telling can be used in various lessons and topics. Digital storytelling is a way for people to express themselves through technology in the form of a story. Their story can have music or voice sound, images, or text.
In my future classroom, according to my unit plan (Why is writing important) using voiceThread and slidecast would be useful. My students would be able to actually see the writing process take a different form. This would be different and fun way of learning. In this form they could actually hear the other students voice while being able to see them at the same time and virtully interact.
Using these tools in my future classroom is something that i can see myself applying in different lessons. For VoiceThread I could design a video, or music clip, or power point introduce a new lesson, activity or book. SlideShare/SlideCast could be use show pictures of what and how the lesson should pan out. Overall, presented this challenge to create a slideshare presentation it was a great experience and you suggest many to learn to use it!
