Tech  Time  –  Digital  Storytelling  

"Digital  Storytelling  is  the  prac6ce  of  using  computer-­‐based  tools  to  tell  stories."  

• University  of  Houston  -­‐  The  Educa6onal  Uses  of  Digital  Storytelling  

"One  of  the  best  ways  to  enhance  student  learning,  boost  student  achievement  and  improve  student  engagement  is  to  incorporate  digital  storytelling  as  an  instruc6onal  strategy.  Students  can  demonstrate  their  knowledge  of  content,  develop  higher  order  thinking  skills,  improve  their  digital  literacy  skills  and  harness  the  power  of  visual  literacy  in  digital  storytelling  projects"  

• Wesley  Fryer  -­‐  from  "Using  Voicethread  for  Digital  Conversa6ons"  

Page 7: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Tech  Time  –  Ning  Photos  

• One  of  the  central  places  we  have  to  publish  and  tell  our  stories  is  on  the  Ning.  

• Many  teachers  and  teaching  assistants  are  currently  pos6ng  tons  of  great  photos  on  the  Ning.  

• What  should  the  focus  of  our  story(s)  be?  

• What  considera6ons  should  we  make  when  pos6ng  photos  on  the  Ning?  

• How  can  we  begin  to  organize  our  photos  to  tell  a  more  cohesive  story?  

• What  other  tools  are  available  for  digital  storytelling?  

Page 8: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

WriJng  Development  

• What  it  looks  like  

• How  it  connects  with  learning  to  read  • How  development  is  strengthened  in  play  planning  

• Other  ways  to  nurture  wri6ng  development  

Page 9: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Page 10: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Phase  1  –  leEer-­‐like  marks  

•   Writes  with  leEers;  uses  leEers  •   No  leEer-­‐sound  matches  •   Names  some  leEers;  forms  leEers  •   Writes  own  name  •   Enjoys  read  alouds  

Page 11: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Encouraging  phase  1  &  phase  2  in  play  plan  

Page 15: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Step  2:  T  models  draw  por6on  of  play  plan  

Note  the  line  for  the  word  

Page 16: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Choose-­‐Say-­‐Draw-­‐Write-­‐Go  

Step  1:  Model  wri6ng    Say:  I  am  going  to  make  a  castle.  Draw  lines  for  each  word:  ____              ____    ____  ____  ____  ____  ____  (I)    (am)  (going)    (to)  (make)      (a)  (castle)  

Write  words:  I  am  going  to  make  a  castle.    

Reread  and  point  each  word.

Word  segmenta6on  

Child  can  aEempt  to  write  the  name  of  the  area  OR  what  she/he  plans  to  do.  

Page 18: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Here  the  child  writes  some  of  the  words;  the  teacher  writes  the  rest.  

Page 19: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

The  child  aEempts  to  write  all  the  words.  

Page 20: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

Note  that  the  child  aEempts  to  make  the  lines  and  to  write  words  on  the  lines.    

Page 21: ARS Teacher PD - February 2011

ConsideraJons  

•   kinder-­‐bound  children  only  •   those  that  show  readiness  to  draw  &  write  •   all  children  choose-­‐say-­‐go  •   some  kinder-­‐bound  children  move  to  draw,  then  draw  and  write  

•   teacher  always  models  first  •   teacher  may  assist  ‘how  to’  with  1-­‐2  children  at  a  6me  over  several  days  

•   teacher  keeps  files  or  record  of  play  plans
