I have a number of students whose dream is become a marine biologist. It may be a trend of news about global warming, or the love of animals. This Dream Scene digital story was wonderfully done, and is a good example of the format of our project. Peace (in the sea), Kevin

The First of the (digital) Dreams is a Writer
In class, many students are moving into Photostory3 as they begin the recording, editing and producing of their digital storytelling project to start our year: the Dream Scenes.

Student Dreams and Aspirations
We’re moving into our first technology project of the year: Dream Scenes Digital Storytelling.

Tending to the (Answer)Garden of Dreams

Dreaming the Future
Most teachers have a Dream Project for their students at the start of the year. It can be a valuable way to work closely with our new students and get to know them better. We find out a lot about a young person by their aspirations. Mine is a digital story called Dream Scenes and […]
Collecting Their Dreams
I wanted to share the Dream Scenes that my students have been creating in the first days of school this year, using PhotoStory and MS Paint to capture their voice and vision for themselves. (They have loved this project, much more than when we did the paper version — they have been so fully engaged […]
