Digital/Visual Storytelling in Your Community Assignment


Digital Storytelling did pose a challenge on starting and continuing to develop it. The ISTE proficiency I came closest to meeting is the 2.5a using technology to create, adapt and personalize learning experiences that foster independent learning and accommodate learner differences and needs. I used Filmora to create a memorial for my beloved grandmother and portray a story presented digitally that can have its narration on its own. 

Digital storytelling can support community members in a variety of ways. For students, digital storytelling can serve as a format to share experiences and provide them with a voice to be heard and acknowledged. For staff and faculty, digital storytelling can serve as an educational tool to provide interactive learning across all subjects and professional development. For parents, digital storytelling can serve as an assisting tool for assisting their child and/or presenting information in a different format. 

Staley states, Benefits of Digital storytelling include expressing student emotion and voice, acquiring a wide range of audience, and student engagement (p.3). Not only are students benefiting in all sorts of ways but also digital storytelling assists as a too to support students academic achievement.

Biography: Hello, My name is Lorena Rubio and married with a beautiful 9 month old baby girl! I am a certified bilingual educator with EC-6 and in my fifth year of teaching. This is my second year in 1st grade as a Dual Language Teacher in Texas but previously taught Bilingual Kindergarten and Pre-kindergarten. My favorite grade level is first grade! When I first started the Dual language program at my current district, I was intimidated by the fact of teaching Spanish learners versus only teaching Spanish speakers as a bilingual teacher at my previous district. The Dual language program used at my campus is the 2-way, meaning the group of students composed of Spanish speakers and Spanish learners. I am blessed to give back to the bilingual program that helped me achieve to become a bilingual teacher. I am a product of the same district I am currently teaching! Although I am only in my fifth year of teaching, I would like to support teachers digitally and provide them with abundant res...

I would love to work with more of the aspect of technology within the education field. Super excited to start! Part 2: In my district, the rubric used is the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (T-TESS). https://teachfortexas.org/ This evaluative rubric is used yearly, uses a scale to rate from improvement needed to distinguish and provides descriptions that are specific under each category for the specific rating. The administrators use these rubrics to evaluate teachers in different settings or data such as observations, walkthroughs, artifacts, student growth and analyzing student data.  When comparing the ISTE technology use expectations and the T-TESS, two areas that illustrated good alignment are 1.A Empowered learner (ISTE) with 1.4 Activities (T-TESS) and 3.C Knowledge Constructor (ISTE) with 1.1 St...

Part 1:  Authentic Intellectual Work/Authentic Instruction & Assessment.   What is the nature of Authentic Intellectual Work?  How does it differ from traditional approaches to instruction and assessment?  The nature of Authentic Intellectual Work goes beyond the traditional approach in instruction and assessment. Authentic Intellectual work are skills that are in depth and transfer to adult life to make decisions and build great communication.  Discuss the components of Authentic Intellectual Work and provide deep consideration of at least one component by including a discussion of empirical (research-based) evidence. The components of Authentic Intellectual Work are construction of knowledge, discipline inquiry, and value beyond school (Newman, King, & Carmichael 2007). The components go more in depth of what is included. For the construction of knowledge, to be able to solve new problems organization, interpreting, evaluating or synthesizing prio...
