Digital Storytelling Movie

It took me a while to figure out how to embed my video into my blog. Making the video was fun but putting into my blog was a challange. Here is my movie.

Spreadsheet

Well I finally figured out how to do the spreadsheet and its pretty neat. I can use it in my future classroom. My unit plan was with the sun. So I can ask the students 3 questions. Find out the diameter of the sun?The temperature of the sun? And the distance from the sun to the earth? Then could configure the numbers through the spreadsheet. Here is my spreadsheet using the wedding Budget.

7 Elements of Digital Storytelling

The digital storytelling is a great tool for students to use as a project. I think we all benefit from it. Instead of just having your students read from a text book this tool allows them to learn new technology skills. This will keep students engaged in thier assignment. You can conduct a project for your students and break them into groups into 3. Then they will do the project on the unit plan about the sun that we have been discussing in class.
