When I Become a Teacher

Using Photo Story 3 for Windows, I have created a brief video describing my future goals as a teacher. Check it out below!

I believe that digital story telling can be beneficial to students because it allows them to be creative. That sense of creativity can motivate students to work harder and have a better understanding of the material they are learning. After reading the article, "World of Digital Storytelling", I found a new appreciation for programs like Photo Story 3. The article had one line that really stood out to me. It said, "Through creating narratives, students develop the power of their own voices and become heroes of their own learning stories". I think it's so important for students to be able to express themselves, and also be able to expand their knowledge in the source material. 

Here is an example of a student made photo story that talks about the water cycle. It shows that the student learned about the topic, but is different from what classroom activities usually involve.
