My new post is about digital story telling. Of all the web 2.0 tools that I have used or learned about, it has to be the most powerful given the fact that it requires no costly software or hardware. All that a digital storyteller needs is access to the internet to download the free software to use and to search for pictures to use for the story.
The program itself is very intuitive and is the easiest software I have used so far, because it makes it fun to build a story even for even for the most computer-phobic among us.
The hardest part about creating a digital story is finding a story and following the steps and requirements detailed in Lambert's "Digital Storytelling Cookbook". the technical part of putting together is the easier part of the project.
The collaborative aspect of this educational tool and the effort it takes to create a coherent and captivating story provides teachers with a powerful educational tool to engage and challenge students to sue higher level thinking skills and collaborate with their peers in constructing knowledge that is relevant and rigorous.
