AR 6 Digital Storytelling Project

Involving students in projects is a student-centered learning activity and a great return on our investment as educators. Whether called a webquest or a digital storytelling project, it uses guided resources on the World Wide Web for an organized scavenger hunt. Dr. K. said it; if tomorrow’s workers will be evaluated on actual performance, then why are today’s students continually evaluated with tests? I am a graduate from UCF in the Technical Education and Industry Training program and I have been taught that we learn by doing. I do not want to quote what material is chosen for the FCAT exam and why, but to say what I think I know is the FCAT bases its material on critical thinking skills pulled from career development. Watching Dr. Gunter ‘s video was awesome. Thinking out-of-the- box and having her students interact with the environment , solve problems, and then follow the trash had a huge impact on the students. As stated in the textbook for this graduate course curriculum pages used well will provide valuable information that is relevant to your lesson. Creating a student example is a very comprehensive way to see how structured the curriculum page activity was. Completing our curriculum page and student example of a digital storytelling project was a long journey. Proudly, I say this at 11:10 PM, Friday night.
