Assignment 8A: Digital Storytelling

I made this digital story about Ida B. Wells using Voice Thread. I could use this technology in the classroom to record lectures ahead of time, if for instance I would be absent one day. I could also use it as a way to test student's understandings by assigning group projects where the group would collaborate on a video, each recording their own comments.

This project helped me address the ISTE Standards of Model Digital-Age Work and Learning, Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, and Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership. I have to have extensive knowledge of the technology available and how to use it if I am to assign my students a project using said technology. Using Voice Thread would also be a digital age assessment tool. And, by my exploring and understanding the technology, I am engaging in professional growth.
