Hello everybody! Until now, I guess that you may not hear what the digital storytelling. Don't worry! From now on, you can create your story. Me and my fellow worker Ertuğrul are responsible for Digital Storytelling task this week and I want to share the process of our project in detail , thereby you can benefit from this example. I am sure that you will do . better after witnessing our experience.
- What is'' Digital Storytelling''?
Digital Storytelling is relatively new term which refers the new practice of ordinary people who use digital tools to tell their story. Simply, we can say that digital stories are multimedia movies that combine photographs, video, animation, music, sound, text and also narrative voice.
- How did we create our digital story and cap off it?
- And,was it a difficult process?
After given the task, me and my fellow, Ertuğrul, decided to create a fictional story. For this duty , first thing to do was creating at least two characters and create setting, atmosphere , the sequence of events, weather and the other things. We wanted a digital story, which is both entertaining and also it must be educational.For this reason, we had to choose a topic , which could be taught the child easily. We decided to teach ''comparatives''. For our project, we benefit from'' Go Animate'', which is an online animation maker program.
Absolutely, it was a difficuly process for us. We had to collaborate for this tusk . Firstly, we created our atmosphere and then we selected our characters.There were some significant points that we had to watch out for , the other ones improved immediately. The recording part is the most difficult one in my opinion. We wanted to create a real atmosphere, therefore we worked so much while we were recording our voices.
In our day , all people with a computer can create a digital story and teachers can integrate this advantage for their lessons and let their students to create their own stories and share them for everbody. Thus , the students can gain a better understanding of more abstract consepts. And also , the experience of creating their own story will stimulate the student's higher level thinking. Thanks to this project, they will learn collaboration and they will gain self confidence and they will express their ideas easily. And also, this tusk will encourage them to communicate with each other. It is a really entertaining experience, so , if the students create their own stories, they will think that learning English is really enjoyable and amusing. In this way, they will want to learn more and more, they will want to discover more and more educational thing.
Don't forget! We are the teacher of the future.We have to be equipped with technological tools and gadgets. We have to benefit from the power of technology . Therefore , we always aware of developments in the field of technology and we must practice this when we teach somethings
