The Digital Writing WorkshopThe students in Aram Kabodian's middle school language arts class had fun using digital movie making to create public service announcements. The project itself is an engaging one. Students tend to like coming up with creative ways to persuade an audience. Pair that with the technology to make the PSA digital, and you've got a really engaging project for these middle school students.
Hicks discusses all of the factors that go into creating a digital story. Students are thinking critically, working collaboratively, and using digital tools to reach an audience. There were some really cool examples of their PSAs.
Check them out here. They were very well done!
Diana, those are so cool! I definitely think that digital storytelling should be in the persuasive form. By having students create videos about what they actually believe in, as teachers, we are way more likely to get exemplar work,which is seen in Kabodian's class.
