The Digital storytelling project was one of the most fun ones to complete this semester. This project was meant to teach a lesson about a specific topic, but doing so as a photo story. This project incorporated music, as well as voice recording to present the topic to the class. The digital storytelling project was a sample of how a full lesson can be taught in a fun and different way to keep the students interested. Technology has become more and more popular and if students can learn their lesson through a video, then they are generally going to be more focused. I thought this project taught me how to use different aspects of the web. It also taught me how to teach a lesson through a story of images and music. As a future teacher, this type of project could be great way for children to work as a group to teach the rest of the class about a topic that is interesting to them. Group projects can be tough, but if each student was able to incorporate a different part of the project, whether it be an image or piece of music, then working together would run smoother.
