• After reading this article it is hard not to realize the power of using video with students. Describe a way you could use video in a similar way with students of your own.
Using digital storytelling is a powerful tool that allows students to become actively and productively engaged not only in technology, but also with academics. One way in which I could use video as an elementary school teacher would be to have both parents/guardians and students involved in a project that involves research and community involvement. For example, students would work in groups and they would be videotaping interviews with family members or professionals in the community. The students would come up with their own interview questions, but of course the project would be centered around a theme (ie: careers). In this way, students would be encouraged to use technology as a means of getting parents/guardians and the community more involved in education. There are many other ways in which video could be used for educational purposes, but it is up to the teacher to make a lesson interesting for the students.

That sounds like a fun idea. I know a teacher (who works in an underprivileged area) who gave each student a one time use camera and had them take pictures of meaningful things in their lives, or people/places that make them who they are. I think it would work with other topics and other technology too.
