__ @http://digitales.us/story_details.php?story_id=76 __ “Learning the Laundry” This digital story is about a relationship between a mother and a daughter and the help that a daughter gives to mom growing up. This story was very touching and had the underlying theme of how everyone is different and unique in their own ways. It is a metaphor of how people are different but the same. This would be good at the high school level to teach metaphors and the importance of being yourself and not conforming. On a personal note, this made me think of the relationship between my mother and I and how she constantly stressed that it is ok to be different and that not everyone needs to have the same things in life. I was the only child at my elementary Catholic School that came from a divorced family, so in the earlier years, it was a difficult situation for me. But, my mom’s positive outlook is what made me the strong woman I am today. __ @http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/movie_personal_reflection_08.html __ “My Favorite Books” I would use this with any level. But, I think I would use this with my older elementary kids in conjunction with the library teacher. This would be a good example of a project I could create with the kids after they have their read-a-thon during the month of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. The books are very familiar to elementary school students and it teaches that readers read for many purposes. __ @https://sites.google.com/site/teachingempathy/digital-storytelling __ Scroll down and click on “Bullying” by Zack Flip. I would use this at the elementary level to ointroduce bullying. Currently my school runs the Olweus Bullying Program and I think this would be a nice short introduction about bullying. Plus, it is very young kid appealing.This video emphasizes the merits of being kind to others.
