Digital Storytelling

Some of the ideas I'd like to incorporate into my digital storytelling include some of the more meaningful experiences from my first semester tutoring. For example, I'd like to talk about my tutor activity forms and how I became increasingly comfortable teaching in front of the classroom with each consecutive one. Also, including some details about my technology activity would be nice. Overall though, I'd like to talk about how this was my first real experience teaching in a classroom. Although I didn't really do much in the way of taking charge of the classroom, as I was just a tutor, the chance to be a part of the teaching process was a great way to see what I may be doing in the future. I could describe my thoughts and feelings both before and after my first semester tutor experience. I'd really like to see some other students do this as well. I feel like many of us may have felt lost or confused when first starting out, and seeing that we weren't the only ones feeling that way could help to increase our confidence in future assignments.

I've never really played with technology in storytelling, but I can only imagine that it would enhance the experience. Watching a video, looking at pictures, listening to audio clips can all serve to immerse the listeners into the storytelling experience. By incorporating technology, the teller can keep the attention of the audience, as opposed to just lecturing in front of an audience.
