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"
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?
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
Phase 0 – the beginning
• Writes without leEers; makes marks • Cannot write name • Can hold a pencil or marker • Shows book handling awareness
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
Phase 2 – some leEer-‐sound matching
• Uses some sound-‐leEer matches • Knows ini6al sound-‐leEer match • Invents some spellings • Knows some sight words • Can start to read easy Level A books
Phase 0 Phase 1 Phase 2
Goal: from phase 0 to phase 1
choose-‐say-‐go
choose-‐say-‐draw-‐go
choose-‐say-‐draw-‐write-‐
go
Encouraging phase 1 & phase 2 in play plan
Step 2: T models draw por6on of play plan
Note the line for the word
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.
Here the child writes some of the words; the teacher writes the rest.
The child aEempts to write all the words.
Note that the child aEempts to make the lines and to write words on the lines.
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
Other WriJng OpportuniJes
• making books • wri6ng play • with parent support
