Addressing the 7 Elements of Digital Storytelling

Point of View: 
The point of view of my personal digital story will be in first person. I plan to address my daughters learning disability and my subsequent decision to become a Special Educator for high school students. I will be addressing the learning community, parents, students, and other teachers.
On the other hand, based on the comments from my peers,  I may decide to complete my personal digital story about my relationship between me and my grandparents. The experience that I had with them growing up was the most positive part of my childhood. If I choose to do the story on this aspect of my childhood my audience would be families.
Dramatic Question:
The dramatic question =  Imaginative Play: My Childhood on the Bus
Emotional Content:
The emotional content would be either the struggles we faced as parents with my daughters learning disability or losing my grandparents (aka my stabklity) before my children really had a chance to know them.
Soundtrack:
Either *My Little Girl* by Tim McGraw or __ for my relationship with my grandparents.

  1. I think this would be a great topic for your digital story. I can relate; my son also has a learning disability. Dramatic Question could be something about "What I want to be when I grow up?" As we are growing up we think we know what we want to do for the rest of our lives but life changes us sometimes and so our path changes as well. You bring a parents insight into the special education field and that is valuable.

  2. You have identified two emotionally charged topics for digital story! I think there might be a way to weave them together. I'm looking forward to seeing your rough draft! I'll be able to make more specific recommendation then!
