ISTE | Digital Storytelling Guide for Educators By Midge Frazel - 1 views

  •  
    Storytelling is an age-old art form. With Web 2.0 and the tools already available on most computers, students can use text, music, sound effects, videos, and more to create a multimedia presentation that links them to the world beyond the classroom. Storytelling has the potential to unleash creativity, engage, and motivate. Applicable across the curriculum, digital storytelling teaches students to work collaboratively and use new technologies, skills they will be required to have in the workforce of the future. This book offers an overview of digital storytelling as well as its variations, including e-portfolios, digital photo essays, and scrapblogs. The many recommendations, overviews, and explanations of digital storytelling tools, along with lists of additional digital storytelling resources, will help educators to apply this exciting technology in their classrooms. Educators will also discover the ways digital storytelling can be used for their own professional development. Digital Storytelling Guide for Educators provides detailed directions to preparation, production, and presentation, and rounds out with a discussion on creating rubrics and evaluating student work. Readers will come away with an understanding of digital stories and the tools needed to create them.

The Power of Digital Story | Edutopia - 0 views

  •  
    Telling our story is an essential part of our humanness. It allows us to feel part of the community that knows our story, and it fosters empathy for those that surround us. Story is a powerful force in shaping mental models, motivating and persuading others, and teaching the lessons of life. Telling story extends back to a time when oral history dominated the tools of communication. And now the flood of technology tools that allow for instant communication has spun us back into a golden age where story again dominates the media landscape.

Légendes québécoises - 0 views

  •  
    Les légendes continuent, même à l'heure du micro-ordinateur, de l'Internet et des nouvelles technologies, à alimenter notre imaginaire. Les légendes québécoises ont eu et ont encore souvent un rapport avec la religion et la pratique du culte.  On y retrouve bien sûr des fantômes et des revenants. Le diable, symbole du mal, est souvent présent et bon nombre de fois, se fait rouler par les humains, malgré les nombreux pactes qu'il signe avec eux en échange de leur âme. Le mythe ou l'exaltation des hommes forts a aussi été une constante à travers les siècles.  Le Québec n'a pas échappé à cette règle. Et que dire du rôle des premières nations dans l'histoire québécoise! Dans cette rubrique, je veux vous présenter des légendes recueillies dans différentes régions du Québec.  Je vous les raconte comme on me les a racontées.

8 Steps To Great Digital Storytelling | Edudemic - 1 views

  •  
    Stories bring us together, encourage us to understand and empathize, and help us to communicate. Long before paper and books were common and affordable, information passed from generation to generation through this oral tradition of storytelling. Consider Digital Storytelling as the 21st Century version of the age-old art of storytelling with a twist: digital tools now make it possible for anyone to create a story and share it with the world.

8 Essentials for Project-Based Learning (by BIE) | Project Based Learning | BIE - 0 views

  •  
    "What is it? Here's an article by BIE, updated from its original appearance in the September 2010 issue of Educational Leadership magazine from ASCD. Good for general audiences as well as educators, it explains the essential elements that make rigorous PBL different from "doing projects." Why do we like it? This article was written because some teachers say they "do projects" already (so why learn more about PBL) and some educators and members of the general public may have negative stereotypes of PBL as merely a "fun" or "hands-on" activity. How can you use it? Share this article with anyone, from teachers to parents to administrators, to explain PBL and provide a common framework for projects. The 8 Essential Elements are the basis of BIE's Project Design Rubric and PBL 101 Workshop."

Using texts | frenchteacher.net - 0 views

  • Apart from being a source of reading, structures and vocabulary, the text is a starting point for grammar practice, listening work, pronunciation and intonation practice and discussion. If you accept that comprehension is the source of all real second language acquisition, then reading texts is fundamental.
  • Texts need not be completely authentic. After all, they are primarily a tool for teaching the language, so you may need to adapt the source text to suit the group in front of you
  • Texts which relate to students’ own experience (leisure, new technologies, television, internet, shopping, school, film etc) can be good as they may well encourage students to talk more.
  • ...32 more annotations...
  • What to do with texts Here is a check-list of ways you can exploit texts together with a justification or comment for each task. You could add to these with your own.
  • Prepare the ground. To prepare students for the text they are going to read it is a good idea to ask a few questions or give a brief introduction to the topic.
  • Skim reading. This helps students develop their skills of reading quickly for gist or specific details.
  • Read the text aloud or play a recording of the text. This allows students to hear correct pronunciation and encourages them to read slowly and carefully since they have to go at the pace of the reader.
  • Get students to read aloud.
  • Practising intonation. Reading aloud allows the teacher to work on stress and intonation.
  • Vocabulary brainstorming. This could be done before the text is read or, better, at a later stage.
  • Filling in tables. You can design a grid or table
  • Jigsaw reading
  • look for ones where there is a clear development from one point to the next and where there are clear links from paragraph to paragraph.
  • Match headlines to paragraphs. To show grasp of meaning and structure
  • Match summaries with paragraphs.
  • “Find the French/Spanish/German for”. This simple task, best done in the early stages of looking at a text, simply involves getting students to pick out vocabulary via translation. It can be done orally, or perhaps better in writing as then all students are definitely involved in the task.
  • Bilingual vocabulary list completion.
  • Finding cognates.
  • Underlining parts of speech.
  • Questions in the target language. This is the most traditional activity of all, but one which should not be underrated. Good questioning technique (oral and written) allows the teacher to practise grammar points, vocabulary, comprehension and speaking skills.
  • Defining words or phrases.
  • Making up questions in the target language.
  • Give the answer, they make up the question.
  • Questions in English. Although this has the disadvantage of moving away from the target language, it should not be ignored. It does focus entirely on meaning and with harder texts it can be a way of getting into the text before other tasks in the target language are carried out. It is also an entirely authentic real-life task.
  • Give false statements.
  • Matching tasks.
  • Completing sentences.
  • Multiple-choice. This is a good for allowing students to show a fine grasp of meaning. Multiple choice tasks should give at least three options and can take the form of a question with three answers or a sentence start with three different completions. These are quite fun to design and can be adapted to the level of the class.
  • Gap-filling. You can blank out words, phrases or whole sentences from the original text
  • Summarising from memory.
  • Written summary in the target language.
  • Changing the point of view.
  • Dictation. This is a high level activity, but is easily adaptable to different levels. It works best with French, where the sound to orthography relationship is more difficult than with Spanish or German
  • Paired dictation. For this you give students a series of sentences of different lengths. One student has to read the shortest sentence to their partner. The partner has to repeat the sentence precisely out loud.
  • Texts may be entered into an online tool such as Textivate, where students can do a variety of text manipulation exercises.
