I have learned that there are many features and qualities that should be a part of the digital story to makes it a good story. First, a good digital story has to have a goal or a message for students, such as solving math problems or learning new vocabulary. Also, it is important to choose a good technological tool that attracts the kids’ attention and help them to be engaged and interested to learn more and love learning process.

The Storyboard for My Digital Story Previously, I shared the proposal for my digital story which is an application for the strategy in teaching kids through games and activities. So, today I’m sharing the storyboard for the digital story that represents the lesson.

ReadWriteThink One of the most interesting technological tools, that I have been introduced to a few days ago is the ReadWriteThink website, which uses to create a Haiku poem and Acrostic poem.

StoryBird.com Another tool introduced to us last week is the Story Bird website, which is another technological tool that helps in developing the writing skill. I truly like Story Bird website because the pictures are awesome and appear very unique. Also, I like how each story has a special theme like the cartoons or the black and white movies. Moreover, there is an option that allows printing the story to look like a short story book. I could see my self-using this website in a writing activity for Grade-Five students and by the end of the semester, I could make a small bookstore for my kids to share their creativity in writing with the school. Additionally, I think that Story Bird is an enjoyable tool to play with not only for students but also for teachers. For example, a teacher may teach the students a history lesson or a science lesson using Story Bird to make the lesson more interested. Using StoryBird is very flexible, click on c...
