digital story-telling (DTS) activity

The following post gives an example of how DTS can be integrated into an ESL classroom. first, the task is targeting elementary Armenian students at the age of 12-16 years old in one of the EEC classes.

The overall goal of the task is to bring creativity to the way students do their poster presentations every semester. firstly, students into groups of four are required to work collaboratively to make a presentation about one famous Armenian.

Using one feature of Microsoft PowerPoint software, of creating videos. they have to export the presentation into a video. Students have the freedom to decide what to include in their presentations. they have the choice of including images, texts, videos (although that might be challenging for them to synchronize with the rest of the slides) and they might record their voices too.

In relation to ISTE standartsd and the types of literacies discussed in Hughes and Robertson (2010), this task helps teachers to integrate their students' general use of technology into the classroom. stressing the idea of "Innovative Designer" students use the technology within a design process to plan and manage their projects. The task also helps students to work collaboratively using technology and to be able to communicate their ideas more effectively.
