When researching emerging technologies that I could use in my elementary school classroom, I came across one I found very interesting. We have discussed digital storytelling in our EDCI320 class and I feel like it would help me immensely in my elementary school classroom. An exciting way to enhance literary development by involving music, song, story narration, and images is through multimedia and digital storytelling. Students are more apt to learn if they are excited by what is being taught and how it is being taught. Through the use of music, images, and the computer students are able to experience and really get the best out of what they are to be creating. This is probably better for the upper-elementary aged students and for sure the middle school and high school students. They can create plays, podcasts, music videos, and short movies over the topics they have reviewed in class.

I think digital story telling is a great way to communicate to students! It makes things more exciting for them, especially when music, videos, etc are included. It would also be fun to have them create videos and what not! Great idea!

Very good idea and can be used for a good lesson where they can create projects for a certain idea

digital media seems like the way to go with k-6 grade student, electronics and kids seem to fit very well. If the presentation is interactive the kids would be crazy about it.
