Week 7- Visual Literacy

  This week in class we began learning about Digital Storytelling.  We learned about different computer programs like iMovie and Animoto.  You can use other programs to create a digital story including programs like PowerPoint.
  This Digital Storytelling can be used in my major which is Special Education.  It can because it can show a story about someones life or a story about a team using images.  Like I said in my last post, images are sometimes the best way to tell a story or the best way to teach something to children.
  This website, http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/, shows ways that digital storytelling is used for educational purposes.  The topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical event, and from exploring life in one's own community. topics that are used in Digital Storytelling range from personal tales to the recounting of historical events, from exploring life in one's own community to the search for life in other corners of the universe, and literally, everything in between.
