Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling is very new to me. Actually I never heard about it before last class! So the link, 7 Things You Should Know about Digital Storytelling was VERY Helpful! It really gives a brief explanation on why and how to use it. With all of the information learned, I bet a ton of people will do digital storytelling to showcase the life of Barack Obama. Digital Storytelling is creating a short movie with strong emotional content. It mainly has content that is instructional, persuasive, historical and/or reflective.

Literacy Resource for K/1 Teachers!

Hi Everyone!
I'm a bit new to blogging - so hopefully I'm doing this right!
There is a great website that is FREE online where teachers/parents can download and print mini sight word readers for emergent readers. There are also word family readers as well. This is a great resource if you are a K/1 teacher, are a parent of an emerging reader, or know someone who may benefit from the site!

Welcome!

Welcome to our class Blog for EDUC584: Integrating Technology and Literacy. You will be required to regularly check and contribute to this class blog. 

This blog is meant to be a place to share practical and innovative ideas related to literacy and/or the use of technology in the classroom. As we progress through the semester, I encourage you to post links to sites/tools that you think your peers will find useful in their own classroom. Sometimes I may post a question or two to encourage participation. However, the main goal of this blog is to share excellent and valuable educational resources.
