This week in our graduate course on the fundamentals of technology in the classroom we have been exploring the integration of digital media and some of the educational software applications that are available for classroom teachers. One special area of emphasis has been on digital storytelling and we were asked to create a presentation on the benefits of using digital storytelling in the classroom. I chose to create my presentation for virtual teachers to help them learn why digital storytelling will work for them and their students just like it will for teachers and students in the traditional "on the ground" classrooms.
Below is my presentation that I embedded here in my post, and I'd love for you to take a look at it before we go any further.
Digital storytelling for the virtual classroom
This week our instructor introduced us to two new programs that can be used to create presentations. The first one was called Prezi, and the second one was called SlideShare. I chose to use SlideShare and I found that it was pretty easy to use. First, I created an account at the SlideShare website, and then I created my presentation using PowerPoint. The next step was when uploaded my presentation to SlideShare where it was automatically converted. Once the conversion was completed, I was able to obtain the embed code that I needed to embed it here in my blog.
I tried working with Prezi, and I really liked the effects you can create that make parts of the presentation "zoom in" and "zoom out." I ended up choosing SlideShare because I want to learn more about Prezi before I try to create something that will be presented to others to view.
I really learned a lot about digital storytelling this week. As I created my PowerPoint presentation I found quite a few beneficial online resources, and I learned about two great presentation programs I can use in the future. Please make sure you view my presentation again and take a look for yourself at the web sites I shared both within the body of the presentation and also within the references.
