Watching other photostories

I watched McKay, Shanna and Heidi's digital stories and made comments on their posts. I think that the music, sound effects and narrations in each were engaging and made it easy to keep my attention on the digital story. I especially liked the idea of using an ABC story on one topic. That way, you can get a lot of ideas about one topic in a fun, easy to remember way. My favorite was seeing the digital story used as a book trailer. What a great way to get the class excited to read their next assigned book! I think I will definitely use digital storytelling in my classroom.
