Reflection #5/6

This past week in class we were able to work a lot on our digital stories, in our pod the digital story we have been working on has been coming along really well. We have all our pictures and layout ready and are about to start transforming in onto movie maker. This assignment has been really fun and will most likely benefit us all in the future. As teachers we can create digital stories to help explain a topic we will be teaching. Also, like the videos we have been watching, they are great for trivia and facts you want to get across to your students. It worked for me! I am really glad we get to work as pods in class, not only do we get to know other students but we get to collaborate and help each other. Its good to get others opinions and ideas so we can learn and grow together!
The videos were awesome this week, it really made me realize how much our technology is growing and spreading thoughout the world. It really affects students and the age it is affecting is getting younger and younger. I think, as teachers we need to incorporate such technologies so our students will be familiar with it and prepare them for the future. Also, i feel that it is important to teach students as much as possible so that technology continues to grow because it is a great tool and ability we must use and appreciate.
