A digital story is a great tool for a music educator! It is the perfect way to spark a students' imagination. So often we do bland slideshows or ask the students to read an article or listen to a lecture. The one thing students love on the internet is videos! So why not give them a video of a story. Students respond to stories and visual and audio stimulation. When giving students backgrounds about pieces of music. This is the way to do it.
Students really do love videos! Even short ones! I think this is a great tool for a music teacher, and even the students for assignments, to use. It really does incorporate audio, visual, and content all in one.
ReplyDeleteI agree it would engage students in learning music due to being a completely different medium. I hope you are able to implement it in class.
