Research paper "The movement of Digital Storytelling"

Storytelling has been used as a strategy in classroom for a long time. People pass their experiences, beliefs, values, and legend from time to time through story oral telling. Also the important knowledge about all cultures has been passed by using stories throughout history. By using storytelling, it can attract student’s attention and participation. The way it tells base on personal experiences which lead to the easily imagination of the audience. When I was a student teaching, I always started my teaching by a question that lead to my topic contents and started with the questions that let my kinder tell their stories. I think this is an effective technique to bridge the prior knowledge with the new one. Have you ever thought that the stories that have been told are abstract? Read more.....

Strategies use

Two Strategies in my PBL

Digital Storytelling activity

There are three member in a group. Each group will create a 15-20 pages story from Storybird which is a collaborative storytelling website that provides a bunch of beautiful pictures and templates. Students need to tell a story, script, or poem that will match with the picture. The student will be assigned to do a group discussion and a research to decide what is the theme of their story. For example, teacher will assign the topic "The season". Student have to find the information about five seasons of the year including the term. They have to study all the information to understand about the seasons so that they can make and tell the good story.

OPV: Other people's opinion activity

Student will create a space for other people’s point of view on voicethread. Students have to post the picture of each characters from their story to voicethread. Then, they will the invitation to the classmates and friends to comments. Classmates can leave comments by voice, text, and video.

Concept Attainment

....take a quiz that I created in mystudiyo.com and guess the concept that we are going to learn.

Answer......is "Six Nutrient"

I don't know why it doesn't show a whole page of my quiz. It doesn't show "next" to click to the next page. I tried to fix it but it's still the same. So this is the link to my quiz http://www.mystudiyo.com/ch/a98580/go

Assessment and Rubric

Assessment is one of the most important part of doing project. Teacher need to evaluate student and the progress of project. The purpose of assessment is to develop and implement the leaner and project. Rubric is the tool to make the assessment convenient and clarified. rubicstar.4teachers.org is the alternative of creating online rubric. You can choose any kind of templates and the object of assessment. It is fun and easy way of assessment which I like it a lot because I don't have to mess up with Excel anymore.

I created two rubrics for my PBL project. I divided the assessment in two parts of content, first part is reading and storytelling, second part is website design.

These are two of rubrics for my I read, U learn project:

1. Digital Storytelling

2. Website design

R.A.F.T - Strategies team

R.A.F.T - Strategies team

Team members: Kendra Harris, Scott Hill, Intupa Warawan

R - role of writer (who are you?)

A - audience (to whom this written to)

F - format (what form?)

T - topic (what I'm going to write about?)

We use R.A.F.T strategy with Creately to brainstorm and organize the idea of writing.

The other tool that fits in R.A.F.T is Xtra normal; VDO maker tools. Creating the VDO is another styles of narrative which is fun and interesting.

Can I use this idea for my PBL project?

.....Just for fun :D

Hope you'll like this VDO, it's very funny.

PBL lesson plan - I read, U learn

I found this project idea from RFB&D^® Recording for the Blind & Dyslexic^®: Building Bridges Between Print Disabilities and Educational Success

RFB&D^®, a national nonprofit, volunteer organization, is the leading accessible audiobook library for students with disabilities such as visual impairment or dyslexia. With titles available in every subject area and grade level, RFB&D's digitally recorded audio textbooks help students challenged by the printed page.

I read, U learn project reading and recording for the Blind & Dyslexic^® who learning through listening via leaning center website. This project, Students 10^th grade in social study class will search for the book that they are interested in and suited for the blind & dyslexic. Then, they create audiobook by record their reading via web2.0 audio tools and upload to website that teacher and students create for this volunteer project. This website will be e-learning center that not only provide the project team or any volunteer to record and upload audio files, but also people who wants to learn through listening can download the audiobook.
