// Our project is designed to show examples of how teachers can use digital storytelling to reinforce TEKS objectives. //=====

** Problem, Issue, or Possibility **=====

** We decided to use a story the children were familiar with in their reading unit. We also used a subject that students were familiar with in science. The children **=====

** Objectives and Assessment **===== **// We wanted the students to be involved in taking charge of their roles, and using the equipment provided for them. We aimed for them to learn to interact with each other and to be able to use the video cameras. The students did well in learning their roles for the video. At, first it was difficult to teach them how to use the video cameras but they became familiar with using them. They also practiced filming teachers in their classroom activities. Therefore, our aim was meet when they recorded the video of them acting out the story and interviewing one another. They succeeded in their videotaping and in learning to read the story and learning the science concept we were working on. //**

** Implementation Plan **=====

=
=====
 * The focus of the lessons created was digital storytelling. As teachers, we learned that integrating technology takes a lot of planning. Before students can use the technology seemlessly, they need to be given time to practice using it. We were able to use the tools provided to enrich the students learning and take it to the next level. Rather than it just being a paper and pencil assignment, the students became emerged in the content due to the integration of technology. The projects included digital storytelling at various grade levels and were completed.**
