  1. Based on your experience creating your own digital story, which of these proficiencies did you come the closest to meeting?  

From Davis & Foley (2016) I learned Digital Story Telling (DST) is used differently by cultural and social communities for a variety of purposes. DST is now used in all levels of education to help prepare students in public, community, and economic life (Davis & Foley, 2016). In this class, I applied DTS to sharing a memoir, and now to share my depression episode.

According to Kubravi, Sha, & Jan (2018) DTS helps students to improvise skills such as critical thinking, learning, motivation, and retention. DTS leads students to literacies such as technology, digital, global, and informational. DTS skills lead to competences such as researched-based competence, presentation, writing, technology, assessment, personal skills. DTS enhances students' academic achievement, critical thinking, and learning motivation. 

I am not proficient but I came close to the academic achievement level of this class called DTS by developing my own story in story board. It improved my critical thinking. I was able to select the most important information of my story to fit in 3 scenarios of “StoryboardThat”, and overall enhanced my learning motivation on this topic. I spent a lot of time investigating the different video making platforms and website creator sites. 

  1. In what ways might digital storytelling support community members (students, staff, faculty, families) to become empowered learners? 

I learned in the weekly group discussions how DST supported some students in this class who are teachers. They use it to recruit students into their programs or to teach a subject. In the case of my educator classmates, their students and their families are empowered in making decisions in their education path, or to learn a hard subject in an easier  way.

DST is used to help teach very young students with short attention spans to high schoolers choosing their electives, or to middle schoolers learning  specific subjects. In my case, I can explain in an easy way how thoughts and feelings modify behaviors.

Stanley & Freeman (2017) illustrated how high school students used DST to express their position in life and school. In the case of my DST project I hope people with depression can feel supported and possibly invited to overcome their own depression.

  1. How does a student-centered pedagogy like DST align with learning science research and research regarding student performance and achievement?

According to the International Society for Technology in Education (2025) students are prepared in the technological realm, and the student’s standard empowers the student’s voice and ensures the student-driven learning process. By seeing the projects of my classmates I see how they are empowered by DST in their various teaching positions. They are teachers in their jobs but they are students in EDU 5333 class. This class is an example of student-driven learning. Each student chooses their topic and technology for a final project.

The DST is related to the empowered learner standard where students set their learning goals, customize their learning environments, use technology to seek feedback to improve practice, and learn the fundamentals of technology (International Society for Technology in Education, 2025).

Monica Tubbesing Blog TPACK

Monica Tubbesing's TPACK discussion. The Technology, Pedagogical, and Cont ent Knowledge (TPACK) is a framework first introduced by Punia Mishra and Mathew J. Ko ehler in 2006. There are three domains that are interconnected and should be balanced to integrate technology into the classroom. The domains are a) Content Knowledge (CK), b) Pedagogical Knowledge PK), and c) Technological Knowledge. This framework is visually learned by the intersection of three circles , each circle representing a domain (Kurt, 2018) .   The International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) developed seven competencies or standards for students . Many countries have embraced these competences. These standards prepare students to navigate through technology to shift fr om a teacher learning environment into a student driven environment.     The ISTE seven competencies for students are a) Empowered Learner, b) Digital Citizenship , c) Knowledge Constructor, d) Innovative Designer...
