This is my website for a kmz activity that's about rivers and oceans and how they effect the environment, which is part of the first grade Utah state core.

digital storytelling reflections
After looking at a few other groups' digital storytelling project, I can better see how this tool can be used to convey more emotion and that it allows the students to tell a story, rather than the teacher all the time. Also, this is using technology, which is good, and it helps those more shy students to be able to present without having to physically speak in front of the whole classroom. Just as books teach you about all of the different subjects, this assignment has no limit as to what content area it can be about, although the teacher does have the ability to specify what the students' should be presenting on. I think this is very helpful for the classroom, so long as the computers and internet are available for the students to use.
adapting storytelling
I would adapt this digital storytelling assignment to a fourth grade social studies lesson by having the students (in groups or individually) write a fictional story about life on the Oregon Trail and then make a movie of it to present to the class. This will not only incorporate technology into this assignment, but also the students will hopefully have more fun and better remember what they learned in this unit.

digital storybook
I think that the digital storybook is a great way to get kids more interested in not only reading, but also in writing and in writing and sharing their own stories. By making a bigger production of their stories, as opposed to just handing them in or reading straight from their paper to the whole class, this is a more fun and educational way to integrate technology and language arts.
