I really enjoyed working with digital storytelling. I think that it is a really interactive way for students to report about something they have done in class. Adobe Spark was very easy to use and I think students as young at 2nd grade could make a video using this. I think a neat project that uses digital story telling would be a science project about a seed. Students could take pictures of a seed that they planted and then take pictures every few days while it grows. Students could report a digital story where they talk about each picture and the growth that they see in the plant. This way students are not only taking pictures, but also explaining with their voices about the life cycle of the plant. This reaches higher levels of thinking when the students create a digital story about the plant. This is just one project that I think digital stories could be used for, but I am sure there are many more possibilities. I think that digital story making is a very useful tool for the classroom.
