Podcast Reflection #11

This podcast was an interview with a teacher in Australia who uses technology in her classroom very often. This teacher spoke about digital story-telling and how she has been able to use it in her classroom. Not only does digital story-telling help engage all types of students because of its non-traditional story-telling, but for students who have trouble reading written words it helps them understand the story. She also said that kids who come to her school from other speaking countries find digital story-telling beneficial because they can better understand what is going on than if they were to have to read stories in a language not of their own. I thought a lot about this and realized how great it would be or those students who were in need of these types of modifications. I plan to use digital story-telling for students in my classroom who have trouble reading whether because they are from a different country or not.
