After reading through articles about digital storytelling and reflection, as well as our experience with VoiceThread last class, I realize how important it is for students to have access to such technologies to get their voices out there. In the article “7 Things You Need To Know About Digital Storytelling”, the article addresses the downsides of digital storytelling, but those downsides are really the things that students need to overcome as learners, such as opening up and producing their own material. Digital storytelling can provide students with a great approach to addressing issues such as shyness and anxiety about writing. The positive impacts of blogging are clear in Suzie Boss’ article and th students in George Mayo's class have benefited from having access to such technology. Having such access, especially at a young age is a valuable skill and allows students to learn how to open up from the very beginning. I wish I had this kind of access as a student and I hope to be able to implement blogging and other technology such as VoiceThread that will allow students to show what they have learned to other classmates and beyond.
