Module 4

A picture tells a thousand words. Nowadays, digital storytelling is imperative in education. As a science teacher, I think that a good animation/video from Youtube not only clarify some more difficult concepts to the students, it often also give them a much better idea of how these scientific concepts are related to the real world in their everyday life. Sometimes, that is what it needs to boost the interest of some students in studying Science! One issue though is that with the busy life of a teacher, searching for a good video on the web could be very time consuming. Tools like Animoto looks good and easy to use. However, depending on the subjects and topics one is teaching, finding relevant photos to be used in the video may not be an easy task! Nevertheless, it is a good tool to use by students for their project work!
