Hello again, my dear followers💁
The attention and focus span of 21st-century children have shortened considerably due to technology. Therefore, reading stories has become quite difficult for today’s students.
As I mentioned in my previous posts, we teachers should adjust our lessons and assignments to this century.
What is a digital story?
Now I would like to briefly talk about a digital story. A digital story is a digital adaptation of a normal story. Digital story combines visual, video, and audio. It captures the attention of 21st-century students, especially those raised in the digital age, while also promoting awareness and learning.
I think digital stories help teachers when they are not sure how to explain a topic or want to attract the attention of their students, they can use digital stories in their lessons.
Our digital storytelling experience👀
Our task this week was to create a digital story. I chose to make a
fictional story, and I did it with my two close friends Zeynep Ceyda Bozkurt
and Nehir Güler Durur, from my
class. You can go to their account by clicking on their names. We used Pixton to create a digital story, and this made it easy for us. We also used Canva to
edit the video. You can make your own digital story using these.
Before making a digital story, we first chose our topic and made sure that our topic was up to date.We also wanted to raise awareness while making it fun. That's why we were careful when choosing visuals and effects. We had a lot of fun doing this assignment. Using animated characters, voicing them, and adding sound effects felt like playing a game. I felt like an editor while doing this assignment.
I will definitely give this assignment to my students because this assignment was not like an assignment. I see this task as a way to learn not through pressure or boredom, but through engagement and enjoyment.
This assignment brings out the creativity of my students and
encourages them. Also, with this technological assignment, we can more easily
attract the attention of our students to the lesson.
Here is our informative and entertaining digital story about the earthquake.⬇️ I hope you like it.😇
