STORYTELLING IS
BORN
Digital Cameras become inexpensive
The World Wide Web becomes almost
ubiquitous
Laptop computers become
inexpensive
Smartphones and tablets rival
computer processing and media
manipulation
7. DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP IS BORN
• And according to Marc Prensky a
new type of student is born “digital
natives and their teachers “digital
immigrants.”
• As a teacher we can bridge this
gap by employing their language
• It was done during the agrarian
society
• It was done during the industrial
revolution
• And in doing so we can create
dialog and a digital explanation
8. “A BRAVE NEW WORLD”
• My 3rd grade students perform “Webquest”
• My 5th grade students created a digital artifact describing The Pledge of
Allegiance
• My ASD Students worked with Zac Browser, Mega Math, and SpellingCity
with amazing data tracked results
• My 2nd grade students are now creating digital cities by drawing the town,
mapping out the fire station, police station, city hall, school, and other city
locales. They have elected a mayor and will soon have a reelection.
• We have taken 3 digital Field trips to: The Great Wall of China, Smithsonian,
and the Eiffel Tower
• We will be Skyping with a friend in Australia later this year.
• The world truly is at your fingertips.
