Digital Story

Some ideas that I have been thinking about for my Digital story would be how to make learning about a different culture interesting and help teach the students not to be biased against the other cultures. A lot of my students live on a dirt road and farms, they don't have very much culture diversity and some of them are very negative against different cultures because they haven't been opened up to them before. I would like to show them that different isn't bad, that they can learn something from them!

I think that the best type of stories from PDS's would be the stories that you learn from the students. I think that we can learn a lot from these students. I want to introduce the students to a variety of different cultures, provide lessons, feildtrips and fun games to the students. I think that by giving the students opportunities to learn about different places, they will carry that on with them forever.

I think that using digital media is a great lesson, I know that I am so much more interested in the lesson when I can see images and videos. By providing videos and pictures, people not only get to hear the experience, but can put a visual in their mind.
