Assignment 13b

I have found the linked courses to extremely beneficial. I have learned a great deal this semester. This is my second linked course with Dr. White and I am a big fan. I think digital storytelling is an important skill that should be required of all teachers. I found the technology assignments were very beneficial to my learning the skills needed to produce a digital story. I also found the assignments very beneficial to my mastering concepts in the linked course. The research I conducted for my digital story coincided with my work on my presentation in the other course. I would definitely recommend linked courses and these in particular. I found this course to be exactly what I expected and needed. This course covered the appropriate material and help was available when needed. I think the idea of conducting the digital storytelling class online would definitely be doable. I can see the benefit of adding an extra hour to the linked course but I also found the time in class in the computer lab to be valuable. As long as in-person help was available upon request, I think the technology that we used in digital storytelling is easy enough to use that students could master it from an online course especially with Dr. Robin's fantastic step by step instructions on the course website. I think I would vote for that change.
