Reflection to Week 12

I enjoyed viewing the example Digital Stories, especially the one about the new teacher. The examples helped me better understand what makes up a Digital Story.  Before this class, I didn't realize all of the components that a digital story must include, such as an interesting question to answer, the impact on the audience, the power of the student's voice, etc. But after today's class, I have a much better understanding of what a digital story is.  I'm glad we got time to work in our groups to create our own digital stories.  I'm happy that we also have time in class next week to work with our groups.

I also learned a lot in today's class about revision, and why revision is an important part of the writing process.  I liked the handout "Revision Strategies at a Glance."  It was a good organizational tool for how to being the revision process.  It is a good resource to save and use in my own classroom.
