Watching the digital stories today was fantastic. I was amazed at the creativity and level of uniqueness of each of the videos. It's neat to see how giving a project with an open-ended expectation allows for so much differentiation within the finished project. I really liked how each of the videos held information and personality about the person who made it which made it 'come alive'. As I watched them today, I thought of new ways I could use them in addition to the ones I added in my lesson plan. There are so many directions you can go with it that I'd hate make it too limited, although I know that with a project like this, students will need plenty of scaffolding in order to be successful with it.

Individuality is fun to see and what you experienced. We do learn so much. I agree, in a classroom it will take scaffolding, but if students are exposed to it at multiple grade levels that scaffolding can be taken away.
