Digital Story Archive
Digital Stories are personal videos either teaching a concept in your content area, telling your story, or giving students an overview of a lesson/unit to come. Digital Stories are so powerful because they incorporate more of students' senses including visual, aural, and possibly kinesthetic. Looking through YouTube archives and favorites shows me that there are a million things I can learn to do through a video. The difference between a Digital Story and your favorite YouTube performer is that there is a connection to your common core/Utah State Standards. Enjoy the list of Digital Stories below. They vary in quality as my students vary in their prior knowledge. All of these students were pushed beyond their entry levels.
