Day 18 [3/25/10]

Today in class we watched the eight little indians' digital stories. I absolutley loved this activity. The students were all so very creative. I think that every Intermediate grade school classroom should have a technology class to learn how to do things like that. This is because it helps them use their creative minds, along with technology, along with computer skills, all while having a good time. I feel that the ISTE Nets standard for students that fits best with this activity of digital stories is 1a. (1.1. Creativity and Innovation Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes.) Students obviously already know how to write stories, they are now learning to use that writing skill to create a story of their own and generating it into a technological sense.
