I loved this project I think it is amazing how far technology has come. Students are able to listen to stories and see visuals on a computer at the same time. This creates a more engaging lesson for the students. This also makes lessons available to watch not only in the classroom but at their homes as well. I think this is a great tool for teachers to use and change the way we teach. No longer does it have to consist of worksheets and text books, teachers are able to bring the lesson to life. I will incorporate this into my lesson plans, the students who are visual learns will enjoy this as well as the students who prefer listening to lectures. History may not be every students favorite subject, as a future teacher it is my job to get students engaged in History. Rather than standing at the front of the class lecturing or reading straight from a textbook. I can use this digital story telling to teach the important information while providing something visual. All around I think this is a great tool that I definitely plan to use in my classroom.
