Digital storytelling in the classroom

 Digital storytelling is one of the best teaching methods that enhance the learning process. As a teacher I did not use it.  On the other hand, I have used the mestory on Electronic Resources course this semester and I was so glad to learn how I can share my ideas with my classmate.

As an international student I had some difficulties when I started to learn English language. But reading class was a powerful class to improve my language faster. Consequently, I hope to teach reading subject when I become a teacher to the sixth grade students who speak English as a second language. In addition, the new digital storytelling assignment will talk about who I am. Then, students will create a short story about their self. It will support them to develop their language. Besides on the end of the project, they must inscribe what are the new vocabularies that they learn from assignment.

. Moreover, I believe that Digital storytelling is an effective way to build the vocabularies. It will allow student to improve their reading skills, writing skills, communication skills and Presentation Skills .However, I would like to learn them how they can add media elements such as images, video or music on their project. In summary, there are some useful web resources that I will give to my student.

Smart table

Smart table is one of the best means of education at this time. It’s not very new but it is an effective tool. It allows children to work as a group to develop the mental and social skills for them. “Even shy children feel comfortable participating and showing leadership skills when group work happens at the table. Because of its intuitive touch surface and collaborative capabilities” In addition, it makes the education fun and interesting by using an attractive images and activities. Moreover, Teachers can use it to explain the lesson by using a lot of application which helps to enhance the learning process.  One of the best futures of smart table is that it comes with the” SMART Table Toolkit, a resource that helps you create a limitless supply of activities on your computer. It is easy to customize ready-made activities to suit your needs. For example, take a multiple choice activity on North American animals and change the images to tigers, elephants, lions and gazelles to create an African animal exercise. Visit the Features section for a list of applications included in the SMART Table Toolkit.”

Finally, it is attractive to note that smart table can be used by young children and students with special needs.
