About Me
- SJ
- I was born and raised on a goat farm in Constantinople where I discovered my telekinetic powers at the age of four...no, wait...I was born and raised in country Victoria before moving to Perth at the age of 11. I completed High School uneventfully and began studying at the University of Western Australia. I finished four fun-filled years in 2007 and graduated with Bachelor of Science (Neuroscience) with Honours. I took a year off to 'find myself' (i.e. spend the year working in retail and hating my life while unsuccessfully trying to find a job) before deciding that my true calling was to be a perpetual uni student. Thus I returned to university in 2009 to undertake the Masters of Teaching (Primary) course. However, don't misunderstand me I really want to be a primary teacher and I had to overcome a lot of inner turmoil to finally make the choice to return to studying.
Cool! I really like the idea of students creating something like that - it still involves the narrative process.
ReplyDeleteHeya! I can relate to this...waking up & feeling bombarded with what needs to be done. I think it's best to have no more than 10 things on a list. Awesome testing out of Storybird! Seems like there's a huge choice of artwork etc. to choose from. This site also can inspire new ideas & encourages info literacy when it comes to constructing & exploring storytelling.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you getting all that multiliteracies practice while composing your list :-)
ReplyDeleteha. awesome! way better than mine!
ReplyDeleteSadly I can't take credit for this, although I definitely echo the sentiments! It was created by a user named Seldom, as I mention above. However, I am working on my own which won't compare of course. I agree with Matt that this tool allows students to learn about and practise narrative structure and consideration of audience etc, and create a storybook relatively easily with a selection of stock images and backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of digital story telling! It's like writing your own picture book or producing your own film. A great skill to have and an extremely engaging classroom practice. Not only this, students can view their classmate's digital stories and critique them, gather new ideas and collaborate - all great skills for the workplace. Plus it looks like so much fun! I'll have to get started on my own when the time permits!
