Reflection 

Story telling and Share reading are one of the important parts for children when they were young in kindergarten.  It is because children may start to learn their first vocabulary or sentence structure in the stories.  Therefore, reading and writing are closely linked together.  Teachers and parents would like to let the children understand a lesson or express their feeling by telling stories.  Therefore story telling is a useful tool to educate and communicate with children as they cannot grow without stories.

Now the author introduce the digital storytelling is an updated technological teaching aids for teachers. Through this tool, students can improve their writing skills and at the same time it can also stimulate their imagination to create other new stories. Digital storytelling seems not difficult to use by the writers because they can use the tools like, Window Movie Maker and digital cameras in the beginning stage.  It is different from the traditional writing. The writers may have fun and bring their talent into full play and even their language and computer skills.  After knowing the technological story writing in last lesson, I will try to introduce this method to my students.
