Digital Storytelling Competency

The movies below provide examples of digital stories that I have created over the last three years.

Seventh grade provided one of my most vivid memories of learning. I have made sense of this experience with a reflective digital story.

Reflecting back on that learning experience as a professional educator, I realize that the problem was not with me, but with the assignment. What a difficult task I was given... it takes time to build those synapses! Here is the story below:
