Using Digital Storytelling
How can we use it in a math class?
What is digital storytelling
The use of a computer and its software tell stories, give presentations, show videos, give lectures and many other activities.
What makes digital storytelling different from telling a story?
Traditional– Reading a book– Doing a presentation
from a podium– Lecturing in front of a
blackboard– Having to be in the room
to tell the story
Digital– Recording a lecture and
showing it later– Showing interactive
slides for a presentation– Lecturing from anywhere
and showing to a class later
Digital storytelling has many uses
How can a math teacher use storytelling in a classroom?
Isn’t storytelling for Language Arts?
Video taping lectures
If a teacher can not be in class, it is a great resource for substitute.– Students will not loose times with teacher– Will not waste time with busy work– Substitute will not struggle with assignment
Demonstrating homework
Students will have a live resource to review homework
Parents will be able to how problems are done
Great review for exams
Example of solving problem
Parents can see “inside” classroom
Parents are often uninformed about what goes on in classroom
A live lecture can allow them to see teacher and how he/she is instructing
How can it help keep students interest?
Students enjoy a more than just blackboard lectures
Something different can keep their attention
Students love math class with digital storytelling
Keeping notes
Teacher can keep notes so he/she can look back and see if lessoned worked
The teacher can share lesson with others
Alternative assessment
Often math is not creative Creative students can use digital storytelling Can create projects Allow students to solve math problems with
digital storytelling
Tools for digital story telling
Power point most traditional medium Data projectors
– Projects image from computer screen onto large screen (Shelly 2008)
Interactive whiteboards– An interactive presentation system (Shelly 2008)
Summary for digital storytelling for math classroom
Recorded lectures for substitutes Homework help Parental observation Recorded record for future use Keeping students attention Alternative assessments
