During my time in the PDS, I have had many good experiences with the students. Last semester, I tutored a group of 5 to 6 students in which I taught them different math fraction problems. I used interactive technology with my activity and the student really enjoyed using the technology. The students also found it exciting to have a new face teaching the lesson to them. I got many great pictures of this activity, so it would be easy to share my experience in my digital story. I noticed how the students loved this change of pace within the classroom and was just one good experience I have had in my PDS thus far.
One story I had that other tutors may be interested in hearing was a time when I tutored a student one-on-one. This student was in a special education classroom. During our tutor time he tried so hard and wanted to do the very best he could when I was assisting him. He was determined to work through each math problem even when he struggled. With a little advice and some helpful hints from me, he was able to complete the more difficult problems. I feel as though my presence helped motivate him to do well. This is one story I would like to share with my other peers. I believe was makes a good story is a story that keeps its listeners entertained and excited. Also, the story has elements that may teach the listeners something valuable or something they can apply in their own classroom.
When using different digital multimedia during story telling, you can captivate your listeners. Using this technology will allow you to present the story in more exciting and personal way.
