Digital Storytelling Journal 4

Digital Storytelling is an excellent tool to keep the digital natives of our present time interested and engaged in school. Finding a way to balance the traditional way of teaching writing with digital storytelling would be the best of both worlds and would most likely keep all types of students involved in the educational process. It would have been very interesting for the students and the teachers if the old school teacher and the digital teacher could have co-taught the writing class. This would have help bridged the gaps between the generations and it would ensure that value of quality teaching is not lost while keeping the students current with the times. This would produce a win-win situation for everyone involved.

  1. YEA CO-TEACHING! That would have been a great option for those classes!

  2. I agree, we need to bridge the gap between generations. We need to take our 'immigrant' teachers and get them to take on some of the traits of the 'digital' teachers and vice versa. Technology is here to stay.
