How could I use digital story telling in my future classroom?
I could give it as an alternative for a take home assignment. This would also be a useful group project. I could also incorporate this into a technology lesson becuase I would first have to teach them how ot use the digital components. I could also create lesson plans with the use of digital storytelling, in order to show an example and to pique interest. This use of technology will encourage students towant to create their own digital stories.

Do I want to use digital storytelling in my future classroom?
I think that I would like to use digital storytelling in my classroom. It will be important to implement technology as it is the future if society. It would almost not be fair to my students to not incorporate technology in the classroom. Creating my own digital story would also be a useful way to introduce myself at the beginning of the school year. This might make my students think that I am super awesome too! : )

Is it worth it?
I think that the benefits definitely out weigh the costs. For some younger grades the stories may need to be simplified, or more explanation needed. It is also very important for you as the teacher to be familiar with all of the necessary skills so that it is worth it to both you and your students. In the end, a great project will be created and it will have a lasting affect.
