The digital story activity is something I am very familiar with. I have been using photo story and iMovie in my classroom for the past year. The software presents students with a different way to present information or tell a story. When I was in the classroom, I would have student introduce themselves via photo story. This was a great way to get to know your students. But the best part, was getting shy students to present. They were able to express themselves in a way that did not require them to be so uncomfortable. Media is a great way for students to express themselves. (Edutopia. 2002) I honestly believe that teacher have to tap into this resource to engage students in meaningful activities.
