Digital Storytelling

I like the idea of digital storytelling being used in the classroom. I can see it being particularly useful in IcIs. Students can create a digital story explaining something about their own culture keeping in mind it will be for a Japanese audience. This will then show their third place (refer to IcIs blog posting for more information on third place in IcIs).

I had actually suggested something like this to my CRUSADERS group without reading about digital storytelling. I have really liked this idea of telling ones own story ever since watching haw it helped indigenous students in Cape York.
