Digital Storytelling by Jen Davis

                                       

I grew up in the early 70's watching Sesame Street. At that time life seemed to run at a slower pace. We didn't have the conveniences of modern technology, there was no computers, no smart phones, no ipads or tablets, no fancy cable T.V., just plain old fashioned 10 channels, manually operated television with a good pair of (as we called them) "rabbit ears" aka antenna. I was impressed to see what Sesame Street now offers children in this technology era. As I viewed their site I found wonderful learning tools, games songs, and so much more. Sesame Street also offers interactive digital story time. Children can choose a character to start the story. The child will be given an option of three pictures to choose from to kick off the story. Using the mouse, the child can use a crayon on the screen to color their picture. The child can choose different Sesame Street characters to take turns changing up / adding to the story. After the child has helped create the story, Grover (one of the Sesame Street characters) then reads the story aloud. After the story time is finished, the child has the option to print that story and go on to make a new one. I enjoyed creating my own story, using the crayon to color and seeing all my old friends again, wish I was aging as well as they have ;))
