Reflection #4

Today we were introduced to creating a digital storybook. I am really excited about this assignment, a little bit nervous too. I am not the most technologically savvy person, so this will be a learning experience for me.

From what I understand a digital storybook is another way for us to present information. (In my opinion one of the best ways to present information.) I think that digital storybooks will be an awesome way for me to introduce different topics to my students. What a fun way to let them have an overview of what we will be learning.  

While in class I had the opportunity to view an Internet site entitled www.digitalstories.org, it was an interesting site with a lot of information.  It had some really good examples of what a digital storybook is.  I enjoyed the opportunity to view various examples of digital storybooks. 

My focus for this week has been scripting my digital storybook.  Scripting goes hand in hand with designing.   My first goal was to choose which standard and objective I want to teach. 
After choosing my subject area, I have been sorting through various images, music, and information that I would like to share.  The intent of my digital storybook is to engage students in the learning process by sharing factual information in an unemotional manner.  I am excited to be learning about this teaching method and have no doubt I will find it a useful skill in my future classroom.
