Blog #6: Digital Storytelling

Write brief reviews about the two tools you used to create short lessons with this week (Digital Storytelling through Storybooks, Cartoons & Comics).  How could these tools be used by teachers AND students?  How could they be incorporated into a class?







1. Pixton
-First of all, I used PIXTON as my storytelling tool. I made cartoon (specifically web-toon) which is divided into 3 sections. I was so happy that I could make this kind of cartoon by myself. The most useful factor of PIXTON is that we can make our own cartoon and share it with other people. Posting a comment to each other is really good for interacting with others. Above all, PIXTON can give students the opportunity to express themselves through comics. By transforming medium is already familiar to students .into a powerful visual witing tool, Pixton can bring fun and interesting back into learning. Students can style text in dynamic speech bubbles, customize props, and compose reusable backgrounds - even upload images and sound. Students will learn how to convey the idea concisely, and how to tell a story in a logical sequence how to communicate and collaborate with others. Comics can be printed, downloaded ,embedded and shared on the web. It allowed students to grasp a better understanding of what dialogue is all about and how to use/write it. Teachers can make their own projects, or import and modify project templates from our shared Project Bank.

2. Domo Animate
-Domo Animate is kind of video activity style, and whoever wants to make their own video clip can access to it at free of charge,and share with others and embedded on one's private web-site or SNS. It looks really interesting and I found it useful to give learners motivation in learning. And one of the intersting things in this web-site was that users can choose animation character by themselves, and the animal characters even have their fans!! I could browse it briefly from 'most views' to 'most fans'. There were so many attractive characters that I really want to use. I wanted to put them on my video clip right away. At a 'WATCH' tap, I could look over thousands of funny videos and I fully enjoy it. When I watched those videos, I focused on the videos which has many clicking and good comments. And it turned reliable. I f I have a chace to introduce some heplful and ineresting learnig tools to somebody, I would definately recommend Domo Animate. Because I do love it!

#I think that teachers can use these twoo tools for giving students more interesting about a language learning. I believe in case of a language learning especially for younger student, motivation and interesting toward that language is really necessary thing. If someone has curious about specific languages, the person will be willing to learn more and more without pushing from other people. At this point, these kinds of tools; PIXTON&Domo Animate ; are really useful for them. Teachers and students can make their own activities like those in the class room and as an assignment. It will be really effective and very fun!!
