Going back to Pictures!?!!

Papers...we all write them at some point in our lives rather it be in a classroom, or for your job or career.  But how engaged are we really when we write these papers, though im sure some enjoy writing especially when its on a topic of interest for the individual.  But what happens to the paper when everything is all said and done...not much really I imagine.  At least not with past papers I have written, not everyone will find interest in what we have to say.  Instead of thinking in ways of many years before with the traditional paper writing, I think that with new technology, its slowly becoming the way of the literate DoDo.  With access to the internet and so many visuals filling our senses, why not use these new ways of gaining information and sharing that information in a format that is more friendly to the populace.  Digital Stories I think would be just as effient as a paper really, after just making the short video in class I realize that you can put alot of research into just like any paper.  Students can not only research their topics, but they can also learn how to use technology that also interest them.  I am a big fan of visual aids and feel that they can help many students better understand what they are researching, and can even help convey their thoughts and feeling in ways that words may not be effient enough.  So overall again I say yes to Digital Stories, and proper use in the classroom to inhance learning.
