    "Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. Digital stories can vary in length, but most of the stories used in education typically last between two and ten minutes. The topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one's own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between.

      Would our multi-media essay be considered a form of digital storytelling? This is another new technological tool that I look forward to exploring more. By the description is this article link I understand that a narrative aspect must be part of the project. I'll explore more.

      I think digital storytelling can definitely be viewed as one of our alternatives. We had a digital storytelling course spring semester. Here is the link: http://2010medu601.wikispaces.com/ There may be some useful resources for you to investigate.

    Thank you for this resource. I began to explore the wiki but will spend more time on it this week so that I am more familiar with the digital storytelling concept and tools.

    "I've been working with several teachers over the years in our district on the using project based learning. We're by no means experts but are doing some nice work. These three high school teachers have taken the bull by the horns and restructured the school day to provide some learning not easily done in our traditional 40-75 minute classes. This 5 minute video tells part of their story."

    "A novel public school in New York City has taken the video game as its model for how to teach. Students use video games and design them as part of their classes.

      this is certainly an understatement, it's all about the programmatic skills of the test, not actually about learning

      I am always struck by how political leaders who haven't been in the classroom think the answer to making education better is to test more, then punish those schools which perform poorly. The focus has too much been on the test and not the learning going on in the class.

      how is it that success has now been reduced to what we can prove we know on paper versus what we are creatively able to produce? Standardized testing certainly has been around for my entire education but there was not so much pressure on student performance, school performance, etc.. For some students, our 8th graders for example, it determines honors placement. Standardized test should be a measurement, a snapshot, not the whole picture. Li
  • reward schools for offering a diverse set of opportunities
  • “Most importantly, we need to instill confidence – restore confidence – in our teachers and in our schools, because right now the accountability rhetoric in essence is telling us we don’t trust our educators – that they are not good enough, they are lazy, and that’s not the case.”
