this site provides a great lesson to get girls to share their personal stories, while using powerpoint.
obviously, an extension of that, which they elude to, is creating a podcast.
they provide templates to organize their ideas, offer ideas on possible topics to write about, and lists other digital storytelling resources.
looking over this site reminded me of how timid students can be when they are not familiar with or comfortable with new technology.
this is an assignment that i am going to try with my entire class.
i probably would start the project on powerpoint to get the students comfortable and more confident in using different computer software. after they have scanned their photos in and written their text, we can start examining the idea of transforming their powerpoint digital stories into podcasts.
the powerpoint presentation would almost be like their "rough copy". some teachers may not need to go through powerpoint depending on their personal technology experience and that of their students.
but i do think there are teachers like myself who would benefit from taking our time and planning more before we created podcasts with our students.
