I have read the Digital Story Cookbook pages as assigned. I have picked my story. But I am now struggling with finding the story recipe to keep it in 3 minutes and actually take a listener through it.
I have gotten some great input - but now it is time to pull it together and thread the story. It doesn't help that I seldom have the luxury of being able to focus on one topic or thing for more than 15 minutes by my self. I have become so used to jumping from one thing to another and working with others to a common goal, that independent work is difficult. This is good to remember for our K12 students. We need to build the collaboration skills and team work - but we have to make sure there is time for practicing independent work as well - it too is a skill.
Back to working on the story......
Good point! Balance is very important - the keynote this evening at ISTE was Dr. Medina, author of Brain Rules. He also strongly reminded us that with learning, we can often forget that students need time for both the rote memorization and the creative innovation...Know your story will come together! :)
