Wake Up, Students, WAKE UP!!

Hey you, sitting in the back of the class... yes, you, with your head down on the desk, WAKE UP!!!!

The ability to get your students' attention has been one of Digital Teacher's greatest assets. Teachers have consistently reported high levels of student engagement throughout the digital storytelling process, especially from the ones you wouldn't ordinarily expect. You know them - the ones who have given up on school and usually disrupt your class, the ones who usually fall asleep while you are teaching, or never open their mouths to participate. 

So, c'mon folks... share your favorite student anecdotes with the non-believers out there. Remind them that, "you ain't seen nothin' yet" from these shining stars.
