Essential Question: How can tools be used to increase understanding?
Technology tools are a great way to increase the understanding of any subject matter. They can be used in very different ways and can be used for a variety of different learning styles. Technology tools can be used to enhance an assignment with a visual piece; it can be used to take a project from pen and paper to multimedia. Technology can be used to add just that additional bit of information that a student needs to see how something works, or runs or is used. If in math or Social studies or any other subject a teacher can use these tools to work along with the students simultaneously to do an assignment step by step.
Why can digital storytelling be an authentic assessment? Could digital storytelling be used in your classroom as an assessment? Should students publish their work?
Digital storytelling allows the student to express what they learned visually. If a student can show that they have comprehended the knowledge of a topic and are able to use it in a visual format, such as digital storytelling, I do think that that can be used as an assessment and an authentic assessment. More people than not tend to comprehend and express themselves better visually than not.
As far as publishing their work. I think that should be left up to the student. It is nice that the student who does good work can get to showcase their efforts. But that should be left for them to decide.
