I attended a class at the technology conference this year that presented digital storytelling. I think that students can really benefit from this type of technology. A personal narrative in this form would get the students not only fully involved but also interested in the product that they produce. This is a good way to get reluctant writers to begin to gain some confidence. Digital storytelling also presents a great avenue to bring history to life. Presenting different people in history through digital storytelling helps to bring those characters to life. Students begin to understand their lives through the technology.
We do not have any ebooks at our school library other then the resources that are available through galileo. I am very interested in ebooks and think that they are a great resource for students to have along with their normal print books. I do plan to begin the first steps next year to purchase some ebooks. Some of the teachers are a little wary of this resource, but I think if I take it slow and integrate a few with success they will come around.
