Reflection #6 and movie clip

How'll digital stories help me communicate with my students' parents?
Digital stories will help me communicate with my students' parents by showing them the videos covering the material that will be used that week in class. I'll post this on our class website so that they can review them. This way when students tell there parents about class and how they watch a video they won't wonder what they watched.

In which ways might I employ Digital stories to acheive classroom objectives?
I could have my students work on making a digital story using computer skills that I taught them. You could fulfill the technology standards this way also. I could find past stories on art and its influence on Roman history showing live footage from the sistine chapel. As a teacher, with my colleagues we could make a story on a subject area that doesn't have as much project materials and information to engage the students in. It could help you make the beginning of the unit seem exciting to the students.

Millenial Generation clip
This movie clip was interesting and brought up some really good questions for students to think about. It was good to hear a number of students opinions and remarks for each question. It helps get you thinking of what the future will bring as far as technology and it's exciting. It would be a good clip to show to older students I way think for them to see why its important to have lessons and do work on computers. In the dicussion you could do a similarties and differences of the time now compared to the time their teachers were in middle school.
