Digital Story Project

My digital story was based on a this quote by Thomas Carruthers, "A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." I did not use the quote in my digital story but with the images and the words I still had the same message. I also used calm but sort of upbeat music in the background, this was just the intro to Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd.


The digital story covers, Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, because I designed a story to tell the quote by Thomas Carruthers that is above. 


They can promote learning because they capture attention and explain things that can sometimes not be explained in lecture or reading. The only downside is if the lights are off while you show the video because that makes students prone to falling asleep. 


A lesson plan that could work is that each student could make a digital story about an element on the periodic table. This could contain certain hazards of the element, how it was discovered, who discovered it, its properties, and more.
