Digital Storytelling Finds Its Place in the Classroom - 0 views

  • Nothing is foolproof, but I have yet to find anything as motivating and influential on students' self-expression as helping them tell stories about an important place.
  • Before I could expect them to write a story that had a clear beginning, middle, and end, students needed preparation.
  • visually representing their place by drawing, painting, creating a collage, or using KidPix on the computer to uncover more details about each place

  • Peer coaching
  • The teacher must surrender a great deal of control in embarking on digital storytelling with students.
  • two major iMovie skills: how to bring images, music, and voice into the computer (importing) and how to sequence them according to their story (drag and drop)
  • Using iMovie to create digital stories does not require a digital camcorder. Most students used photographs and images that they drew by hand or on the computer.
  • It's vital to note, of course, that the technology was always secondary to the storytelling.

Argentina People - 0 views

  • Unlike the people in other areas of Hispanic America, Argentines are mostly of European origin.
  • Between the 1850s and 1940, more than 3.5 million immigrants arrived in Argentina, about 45 percent of them from Italy and 32 percent from Spain. Prior to the 1960s, substantial numbers also came from Britain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Poland, Russia, Wales, the middle East, and Japan. Spanish is the official language and is spoken universally, but a number of Argentines also speak English, Italian, German, French, or Native American languages (Guarani, Quechua, Mapuche, etc.). Despite the mix of ancestries and languages, Argentines are fiercely nationalistic.
  • Approximately 90 percent of the population is nominally Roman Catholic.

  • They place a premium on not offending.
  • Argentines can express their concern for others with gauchadas, Gaucho-like acts of generosity, such as going out of one's way to help someone else solve a problem.
  • Argentines place a high value on individuality. One of the most vibrant symbols of the past which is supposed to represent the national character is the Gaucho -that near-mythical legendary historical plainsman who is independent, brave, athletic, a bold warrior, loyal, and generous. The Gaucho is the idealized version of a complex historical figure who has become etched into the Argentine consciousness.
  • Argentines are generally well informed about politics and economic policies, and they take great interest and pride in discussing them.
