Week 4 PLE

Storyboard Reviews I looked at the storyboards of Andrea, Katelyn, Anne, Sheila, and Kristen. I thought they all had great ideas, and I can't wait to see their final presentations! I think the hardest part of implementing digital stories into the classroom will be making sure their purpose is clearly shown through the video (that the right message is portrayed in the stories). Using this technology will be very useful because I think it will interest the kids more, and it will help explain the topic at hand thoroughly through examples.

Sharing What I've learned I have shared what I've learned with my family and roommates. It has mostly been to explain where I go for two hours on Tuesday nights. I tell them how the class is important so I can relate to the students I teach, and so I can be a more effective teacher in their learning. Plus, taking this class will make the classes I teach more interesting for students as I put what I've learned to use. As I've shared the new technologies I've learned with my friends and family, they get excited! Also, I've found that as I explain these programs, I learn more about them as well. My explanation skills are getting better as I teach things to others, and I'm becoming more solid in knowing exactly what these technologies are. It's great!
