This podcast from Driving Questions was with guest speaker Wesley Fryer and his project/initiative called Story Chasers. The concept of Story Chasers is getting students to go after stories much like storm chasers go after storms. One of the main tools that the students will use is Digital Storytelling. After learning more about this, I definitely want to use this as a project for my future students because it is integrating so many different uses of technology as well as being creative and telling a great story. Using Audio clips or Videos to go along with text seems just a little more exciting for me than just reading a story. Particularly with video clips, it can be a great tool to teach students what is necessary in a story and what you can do away with, especially faced with time limits on projects. Also, it seems like this would be a great thing personally to use with my family when I get a little older and have a family of my own. Having recordings of other family members that may be gone in the future would be such a wonderful thing to be able to keep and pass down to my children.
