This website is a great resource for digital storytelling. I had never used iMovie to create a digital story until this class, but now that I have, I have so many ideas how it can be used in class. I can see teaching students, as young as elementary school, how to create their own digital stories. I created my story about my family so that I can share it with my future students. I think that this is a great way for students to share about their families with the rest of the class.
When I am home in New York, I tutor a young boy who has severe learning disabilities. He struggles with reading as well as written expression. Although he can't write well, he loves technology. This summer, when I am working with him, I want to help him create and tell stories using imovie. I am sure he would be highly motivated by this and enjoy telling his story without the struggle of using pen on paper.
