I am a teacher. I cannot remember a time when I didn’t know that this is what I wanted to be when I grew up. I think that teaching for many of us that are in this profession, is not something that we choose; instead it chooses us. I don’t just consider teaching to be my job. It truly is a part of who I am and my husband can surely tell you that my teacher hat is often on even when I am not in the classroom.
While exploring the seemingly countless tools that are now available to us for the creation of the digital story, I came across this very simple web tool from Google that I thought was powerful mostly because of its simplicity. Although the only image within this particular type of digital story is the text upon the page, I do not feel that its power is lessened because of this. This video represents a small portion of my own digital story.
