Ch. 10: Other Kinds of Stories

I completely agree with Ohler's statement about using music videos as a source for students to find inspiration for their own personal DST (pg. 128). With the abundance of videos on youtube, students would be able to gather many ideas to use towards production of their digital stories.

Providing or modeling examples is an important teaching practice for all ages. For our current Culminating Experience proposals for EDTE 299, it was extremely beneficial for me to to have access to previous iMet students' proposals; the examples provided a template to help me organize my plan. Seeing the variations of how students put together their proposal gave me confidence to make adjustments accordingly.

Although this youtube video is not the original music video for Ingrid Michaelson's "The Way I Am," there were some creative features that could potentially be used for my own personal DST. I liked how the creator divided the screen into three parts to show sequence of action shots.
