Stress and Education
- Indicate what assessment/evaluation traits you selected and why (in other words, what's your rationale as a critic of these stories?)
- Story – This is a digital story so story should be the most important.
- Content Understanding – If the person is taking a stance or educating, I want to know that they know what they’re talking about.
- Originality, Voice, Creativity – I am interested in how these stories use creativity to help our generation stay engaged.
- The extent to which these traits are successfully present and utilized in the given stories
- Story – I like that she started the digital story with a personal story from her life. It was a vivid story by saying “in silent tears.” You could really hear her pain. I like that she told the results of the stress because she was able to complete her education easier because she had a good understanding of the basics.
- Content Understanding – She definitely understood the content. She was talking about stress in education and had a view from both Singapore and from the US. I liked hearing about the schools in Singapore. Sometimes schools here get a reputation for being too harsh on students. Students here wouldn’t know what to do in a school like those in Singapore.
- Originality, Voice, Creativity – Although I can tell she is foreign, this is the most clear voice that I’ve heard so far on these digital stories. I’ve listened to quite a few digital stories that are by foreign people but most of those it was difficult to understand the speaker, but this one it wasn’t difficult.
- What these traits fail to capture about the selected story (that is, what other characteristics of the story are noteworthy, and why?)
- When I clicked on this one I thought the story would tell about the negatives of stressing students out. After watching it, I saw that she went into detail about the positives of causing stress on students. This isn’t what I was expecting at all but I think it was a very good perspective.
- Based upon your trait evaluation, what modifications and changes to this digital story might improve aspects of narrative, production, media usage, and/or audience engagement?
- I can’t think of anything to change. The narrative was great, the photos were relevant and not repeated, I was engaged in the story, and I was surprised by the end. All in all it was a great story!
