Still learning

Hi, my name is Maria and I am eager to learn from all of you (and Jason) about the great ways to incorporate digital storytelling into best practices in the classroom. I am looking forward to a great school year and using new ideas to interest and motivate student writing and learning.

I have been a reluctant learner and user of technology, but I took a 3-day digital storytelling workshop with Jason last year and am excited to learn more about how to develop student projects.

My ideas for using DST in the classroom include:

  • Encouraging student exploration of identity and culture
  • Having students create narratives that put themselves in history
  • Encouraging students to write narratives to explore the place the live in and the issues that affect them.

I am excited about this class. I have already learned how to set up a blog, something I have never done before but have been interested in using for my classroom, my business, and possibly travel!
