Comments from Beena 4/12/12
I work with special needs students studying in many grade levels digital story telling would be an excellent way to teach them. I could use digital stories to teach them class and school rules, social stories to teach them manners and interaction skills etc. My students learn better with a picture and words to go with them. So digital story telling would be a great way to teach them.  For younger students the teacher would create the story. For older students the students can create their own stories. I think digital story telling will lead students to higher level of thinking. Digital stories incorporate e-learning principles like the multimedia, modality and the contiguity principles. These principles are the foundations of learning and help students to dig deeper. Also pictures help students express themselves better and pictures are an integral part of digital storytelling so I think that digital story telling would help students develop higher level thinking skills.
