I think some of the most difficult challenges in implementing a digital storytelling project in an elementary education classroom will be having enough time and resources to do so. Kids who need extra time to work on theirs may not be able to do so at home and may not be able to get extra computer lab time. Ideally a set of classroom laptops would solve this problem! But also, in early childhood education this may be difficult for those younger kids-putting things together like that. It may be possible though!

Technological Pedagogical And Content Knowledge...
Technological knowledge is the knowledge of technology and how it can be used in education. Pedagogical knowledge is the general knowledge of how to teach. Content knowledge is the knowledge of the content which is being taught. With all these types of knowledge and resources combined, teachers are able to teach to the maximum of their potential.

Week 2

This week's assignment taught me all sorts of new things! First and foremost, how to set up a website that would be useful in helping parents keep up with what their kids are doing in school. I also appreciated learning about a good use of goodreads. I had a goodreads account from my children's lit class and never thought I would use it again. But knowing I can post it on a website of recommended books has been great to find out! This week's assignment may have been long and time consuming, but so many things were learned that I have never ventured before...including RSS.
