With having an interactive whiteboard in my classroom that I frequently use for instruction, I decided to turn these social stories digital. I am anticipating creating a whole series relating to different parts of our day including snack, the hallway and the bus. In the digital stories you will note repeated phrases and pictures, especially our three preschool expectations, be safe, be kind and do your best!

Preschool Expectations Digital Stories
In my PreK Special Ed classes I frequently use social stories to teach children about feelings, calming down, as well as classroom rules and expectations. As part of a SPDG PBIS Grant through SERC, our department created a set of social stories about our preschool expectations.

Digital Storytelling in the Preschool Classroom
In trying to figure out how to incorporate digital storytelling in my preschool classroom, the example provided from the Gryphon House Blog really helped clear the air on what a digital story is and can be.
"Have you watched a wedding video lately? Many times the video starts with music playing in the background while visually zooming in on still photographs, such as pictures of the spouses’ childhood homes and baby pictures, then moves seamlessly to actual video of the ceremony and reception. That is an example of how digital storytelling works."
This blog posts continues to provide ideas and resources to use when creating digital stories in the classroom including Voki, StoryBird, and StoryCenter.org. It also provides an example of a digital story that was created by a teacher in New Jersey using Voice Thread. This teacher was national recognized for her the digital story her class created about polar bears.

A digital story telling the process of making a digital story...
Start to finish how elementary kiddos create digital stories. Kids and technology these days, its their way of life.
Digital Storytelling with the Littles
“Digital storytelling incorporates a variety of multimedia such as audio narration, music, video, and still images to tell a story.”
"Digital storytelling has taken the educational world by storm, due in part to the power it has to engage and motivate the learner. Digital storytelling can also be used by any age group from pre-k to college level. Young children can be involved in the making of a digital story in a variety of ways, such as taking photographs with a digital camera, acting out scenes, drawing pictures and scanning the images, and narrating the story with their own words. When the students are involved in the creation of the digital story it becomes very meaningful to them and, thus, a very effective teaching tool."
