Digital Storytelling

   I think the tenant that I relate to the most is the one about digital story telling. I have never thought of it much until this semester but I have seen how it is implemented into my life in more ways than I thought before. First, I think of facebook, I'm on it daily and post often what my family and I are doing... isn't this a form of digital story telling? I think it is but it wasn't until I read the article this week that it clicked so we say! I also had to create something that was called a "mixbook" for another educational technology class I'm taking, there again.. it told digital story telling about my life.
   I see a lot of potential using e-portfolios, the first being that it helps the students and teachers be reflective learners and look at what they have done and use it as a learning tool for future assessment and knowledge. I think it will continue to be a useful tool in education as well as in the professional area and that we as teachers have a duty to our students to prepare them for new and upcoming technology that may be used in the future.
