Reflective essay 7
The art of storytelling has existed for many centuries
and has transformed into various forms of art.
Storytelling is diverse and can be used in the classroom in many ways.
There are many forms of story telling such as oral storytelling, muppet
storytelling, dance storytelling and digital storytelling. The definition of
storytelling is defined in many definitions, however all definitions are
related to art and multimedia. Although I agree with the article The
Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling, effectivenes of digital
storytelling, I do not agree with its definition. I believe that digital story
telling can adopt a single definition based on the balance of art and
multimedia. My definition of digital storytelling is defined as art
through technology. Understanding the meaning of digital storytelling will help
people create new ideas to form stories that have artistic form that can reach
different types of audiences. I also believe that the purpose of digital story telling is to
integrate basic concepts of a lesson through technology.
The
role of technology has played a critical role in education by allowing teachers
and students to explore creative ways of expressing and explaining information
in the simplest form. The diversity in technology is what makes sources of
multimedia, such as digital storytelling, fun and attractive in the classroom.
With digital storytelling, information is brought to life based the elements of
audio, images and video. The effect of digital storytelling is constructive and
has a big impact in the classroom, because it enhances the form of instruction
for the teacher and engages students.
Digital
storytelling is effective for students, because students are able to create
their own story through technology. Digital storytelling will help students
grasp key concepts,based on the various multimedia tools that are involved with
digital storytelling. Digital story telling helps students form a foundation in
media literacy which will benefit them outside the classroom. I believe that
the articles on digital storytelling had good explanations on the effect and of
digital storytelling. I liked the fact that the article focused on the
implications of digital storytelling in the classroom and howit attracts
students to participate. With Digital storytelling, students can learn
principles of class lessons and the use of multimedia technology.
i think that digital story telling is going to be the thing of the future. not to say that books or worksheets will become obsolete, but as a teacher you have to adapt to the culture of as of now.
