Digital Storytelling

I used Little Bird Tales to create a chronicle of the 2012-2013 JV2 boys soccer team that I coached.  I found the website very interesting and making the 3 minute video was fairly easy.  I was able to put snapshots from the games as pictures for the pages and then add text and my voice to it in order to round out the story.  The usefulness of this precise tool is difficult to see in a geometry classroom, especially when there are already so many tutorials (Khan Academy comes to mind) already out on the web detailing exactly what I would be saying.  It may be worth having the students make up a review for a specific unit, as it will make them put it into their own words.  This could be a beneficial activity for them.
