Week Five- Introduction to Digital Story Telling

Track One Students be looking for an email in D2L advising you of your placement. Be sure to check this email often...

Track Two Students should be getting started on the research phase of your project/mini teach lessons.

Diigo is a great tool to keep track of online resources. Diigo allows you to take personal notes and highlight text information on web pages just as you would on a piece of paper.  You can then bookmark and save this information for further review, while adding tags to keep everything organized.  In bookmarking this information, you can also choose to share with colleagues and friends to allow them to access the web page, view your notes and highlights, and add their own annotations.  All of this information is also saved online and can be accessed by any computer or browser, including cell phones with browsing capabilities.

This week we discussed the form and methodology of creating an engaging digital story. We looked into using such online tools as Voicethread and Glogster as potential tools to create our digital story.
