More Digital Storytelling Examples produced by students in TED 650-Summer 2011
We also liked several other Digital Storytelling tools such as Tar Heel Reader, Voicethread, and D’volver Movie Maker and some of the comic strip creator programs like http://makebeliefscomix.com, http://stripgenerator.com, and Comic Creator at http://Readwritethink.org. We also heard about Glogster and Scrapbog and Blabberize, but we didn’t have time to try them out. There are so many FREE! digital storytelling tools out there!
Here are the ones we liked the best and some examples of ideas we had about how to use them:
· Snapshot Autobiographies to be written and produced by students at the start of the school year for a project called Where are you from? See I am from the United States at http://tarheelreader.org/2011/06/05/i-am-from-the-united-states/ for a model created by the teacher who believes Tar Heel Reader is very useful with ESL students because it reinforces all four domains: writing, reading, speaking, and listening.
· This is a third grade student’s story about his recent fieldtrip to Old Salem at http://tarheelreader.org/2011/06/03/my-trip-to-old-salem/. He used pictures he took and wrote his own sentences to tell this story.
· Second grade students created this book after studying the 3 states of matter. They did a great job! View it at http://tarheelreader.org/2011/06/04/2nd-grade-matter-project/
· Another second grade teacher plans to use Tar Heel Reader during Black History Month so her students can show what they learned about famous Americans. Here is her model telling the story of George Washington Carver: http://tarheelreader.org/2011/06/02/all-about-george-washington-carver/
· This Voicethread at http://voicethread.com/?#u1849044.b2087128.i11114167 was written and read by two 5th graders for their Science assignment about the water cycle. They had to retell the water cycle as a narrative!
· Voicethread turned out to be the best tool for high school Biology students to review/learn about topics related to genetics. See the teachers’ example at http://voicethread.com/share/2085535/
· The focus of this short movie for students learning Spanish is on asking and answering questions about plans in the near future. Check out the teachers model at: http://www.dvolver.com/live/movies-583763
