Digital Storytelling viewing

I watched videos by Emily Carr, Rebbecca Jaggi and Tiffany, Julia, Betsy Rodriquez, Mekelle Hardy, and Christina Rossetti. After viewing these different videos, it was clear that there is a wide variety of possibilities for subjects and videos effects that can be used. That's one thing I love about this project - there is a lot of room for creativity. Implementing this in a classroom setting could be both a wonderful experience and a challenging one. I think the biggest challenge would be making sure each child has needed help and equal access to resources. Some children may have parents who are very helpful and very good with technology who can help them, while some may not. I could see some children becoming very discouraged if they see the other kids with very ellaborate videos and theirs not so much. As a teacher, you would have to take special care to make sure children have the needed assistance and resources so they can feel proud of their work and have a positive experience making their video. I definitely want to try this someday. I can't wait to see what videos my future students produce!
