Digital Storytelling

This semester our class was asked to create a Digital Story. We could work in teams or individually to create a story related to any aspect of Social Studies. I chose to focus on civil actions to correct injustices. It was such a great learning experience for me as I delved into the lives of leaders such as Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, and Martin Luther King. They are great role models which are beyond what I can ever aspire to be! They were all humble men and learning their histories and their sacrifices can inspire everyone of us to take a stand against any act of injustice we witness. My learning experience is a great testament to the benefits of allowing students to create their own digital stories. I loved the fact we were allowed to choose our own topic, I have to believe that this leads to more student engagement. I am looking forward seeing the Digital Stories of my classmates!
