MODULE 5

DST WITH MOBILE APPS and FINAL TASK

In this module you will be given different tools to create stories using mobile devices. 

THIS MODULE CONTAINS JUST EXTRA MATERIAL that you can use optionally for your final task.

In most schools students are not allowed to bring their mobile devices (BYOD) so you may not have the opportunity to work with the tools we are going to present in this module. But knowing about them can be very attractive for you, DIGITAL TEACHERS!!! So, I highly RECOMMEND you to have an attentive look at them !!!

• FINAL TASK

• You have been given two weeks to complete your final task because it requires: planning + design + implementation + assessment. 

• The final task consists in: You are going to create a story WITH your students in class. You can choose ANY of the tools you have been presented throughout or your students can choose one. You can create a collaborative story or students can create different stories working in groups. YOU CAN EVEN CREATE ONE USING APPS!!! If your students create different stories in groups, you will submit a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5. If you work collaboratively, submit the class final product. 

• 
  

• You will take into account the following steps: 

• • PLANNING: timing 

• • DESIGN: how do you present the activity to your students? (remember that you can use some of the resources learned in this course to present the activity in a motivating way) 

• • IMPLEMENTATION: your students DO the task in class. Collect every single piece of essential information about the development of the task (students' interest, implication, enjoyment, effectiveness...) 

• • ASSESSMENT: use KAHOOT to assess the activity. 

• You will submit the four documents listed above. Remember that KAHOOT creates a page with the students' results. 

MODULE 4

COLLABORATIVE STORYTELLING  

Collaborative storytelling involves a group where one writer starts the story and others keep on adding threads to it, and thus the story evolves. The imagination of the community gives a digital story a path one wouldn’t have thought of at the start.

• Story(Us): The Power of Collaborative Storytelling
• 7 Collaborative Storytelling Websites to Weave Your Own Digital Stories

OTHER TOOLS AND RESOURCES

MODULE 3

COMICS, AVATARS, VOICE  and VIDEO to create your stories. 

In this module you will find a list with different resources to create your stories using  videos, comics, avatar creation and voice recording. Remember that most of the tools we present can be used for many other purposes apart from storytelling. You can encourage your students to use them for presentations or for ANY learning task. 

Enjoy the experience !!!
