Well my learned friends as written my Leslie Rule - Digital storytelling is the modern expression of the ancient art of storytelling. Digital stories derive their power by weaving images, music, narrative and voice together, thereby giving deep dimension and vivid colour to characters, situations , experiences and insights.
This module I leisurely breaststroked through the sea of Podacasts- an audio or video file available on the internet. Pod meaning listen to on your computer or transfer it to your portable audio/video device. It is therefore portable and on Demand. Cast meaning the file is sent over the internet.
Vodcasts came in on the next wave and informed me that it is simply a podacst that contains video content.I explored the iTunes links from Module 5 and will sit on my towel and watch as the application becomes more able to be used and relevant to our StKevins learning community.
My favourite review was done on visiting the video sites. As I am an avid user of Youtube and have been for some time I will now happily explore the other video sites to widen the resources that I have linked to the various flipchart pages in my use of Activinspire for programming my classroom units of work. I find it a great tool for engaging those visual learners and making the content of lessons real for students. Digital storytelling is an essential part of the 21st Century classroom. Thanks for Module 5 I,m really strating to swim strongly now!!!!!
