Just a quick note to describe how digital storytelling could be used in teaching maths and science to high school students.
As part of a unit of work you could ask one student (or pair of students) each week to prepare a three minute digital story so that once each week you could open the lesson with a different story. The teacher would tell the student the topic three weeks in advance of their presentation date to give them time for preparation.
Topics which would suit maths and science include:
- introduce the life and work of a one famous person that changed the course of history in that subject matter;
- a book review of a portion of the textbook the students are using for the subject, or;
- a day in the life of the student that highlights their real-life encounters with maths and science.
The digital story would need a simple script with a beginning, a middel and an end, and students could use web clips and researched text.
