Digital Story Telling

This digital story is about me and contains information my students might find interesting.  I would use Digital storytelling in the classroom for numerous different projects.  I think it's a great way to have each student introduce themselves.  The students would make a digital story about themselves and publish it to my classroom blog.  We used to do this with those big poster boards but they take up a lot of room in the classroom and hard to store if you want to keep.  Digital storytelling covers it all with no space issues.  I would also use this media to have students take a project and have to do an explanation through digital story telling.  Something that seems simple to do is difficult to have to explain in detail how to do.  For example, how would you break down the steps in making a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich.  Having to break down a process we take for granted can teach students to think things out more.
