Module 4

This module exposed me to the huge choice of Digital Storytelling tools. I recently received an iPad and am keen to use it to its fullest potential. I downloaded a Podcast for the first time and my 17 year old daughter is now downloading anything and everything, so I'm going to have to keep an eye on that! Having teenagers at home, both iTunes and YouTube are constantly used. YouTube is a great source for any subject and therefore can easily be used in the classroom. We have used quite a few clips in the classroom. I had a quick look at iTunes U  - there are some great free educational courses that you can download. Both Vimeo and TeacherTube provide great videos to enhance the students learning in the classroom. I really enjoyed using Animoto and was surprised at how quick and easy it was to create a great video. I have included my Animoto video of the Adelaide Zoo. All of these tools will help visual learners, but will also provide a different way to engage students.
