Once you’ve implemented your digital storytelling unit, please tell the rest of us what it was like. What feedback can you share to inspire, or prepare other teachers for this process?
“Thanks again for providing such an incredible opportunity for me and the kids. I can say without hesitation that this has been one of the best things I have done as a teacher.”
“I had kids become computer wizards, who’d barely touched a computer and they were really able to tap into their creative energy to bring something that was informative and different to their peers.”
“This was especially a privilege, because many of them (students) don’t even own computers themselves. They were able to explore on one-thousand dollar equipment and that must have felt good and given their esteem, to be entrusted with something of great value. I feel that it affirmed that they themselves, are valuable beings, capable of proving themselves trustworthy and responsible.”
“My students and I feel extremely fortunate to be a part of this program. It made better leaders out of all of us.”
“This was, without question, one of the best things I have done as a teacher.”
“This is a great program for our school. I love having the resources to produce film and video and take our technologists to a new level.”
“Our Oscars awards ceremony gave our whole school a great way to celebrate each other and our accomplishments. Thanks for giving us this opportunity.”
“I love using the technology. It was fun to make my movie, and as I did so, I was able to see more and more how ELA standards can be incorporated.”
“I have taken several visitors (to see Digital Teachers) in the last few weeks and every one has remarked on the amazing output not to mention the process.”
“My take on the DSP is that it was a great outlet for our kids to really express themselves in ways they may not have had access to and that to me, is great.”
