Digital storytelling involves the creation of visual poems, journals, docudramas

Digital storytelling involves the creation of visual poems, journals, docudramas, artifact interviews, book trailers, and informative texts. Digital storytelling can be used across the curriculum as a way for learners to apply digital skills in engaging, authentic assessment.
In this assignment, as a part of your blended course, you will design a lesson plan to create a digital story as a form of assessment. You will also create a digital rubric to provide the data needed to measure student mastery of the content.
Step 1. Select
Select a lesson from your ASSURE unit plan (Module 3) for which digital storytelling could be used as an assessment.
Step 2. Write
Write a plan for your digital storytelling lesson-assessment to include:
Learning objectives using the ABCD Checklist to ensure all learning objective criteria are met.
One ISTE standard for students aligned to the lesson.
Descriiption of three ways you will engage learners in the content using digital tools.
A descriiption of the finished digital storytelling product integrating one technology tool.
A minimum of three ways for learners to share their digital stories.
Step 3. Search and Create
Conduct a web search for digital rubric tools. Create a digital rubric for assessing the digital story. Your rubric must consist of a minimum of three criteria across three levels of mastery. Copy and paste your rubric (or a screenshot of your rubric) into your lesson plan.
Step 4. Reflect, Write, and Blog
Reflect on this module’s learning in a 1-page post for your blog and tag your post with the course learning objectives for this module. Copy and paste this reflection piece at the end of your lesson plan. Address these questions in your reflection:
What kind of BYOD resources are available to your population?
How could you make more devices accessible?
How could you have students use smart phones to create, share, and/or gather data for this assessment?
How useful is digital storytelling as an assessment strategy in a variety of contexts?
Step 5. Submit
Submit the digital story lesson plan, including your digital rubric and reflection.
The lesson plan has been shared.
