better
understanding of
the student.
3- Digital thinking

Remember- students
will remember their
favorite part of the
culture and be able to

Reflection:
After completing this storybird, I learned a lot about a program I did not even know existed. I was not aware that storybird was a
thing, but I love it. I love that as a teacher there is still the ability to keep books in the curriculum for all areas. I love that with
storybird the pictures are already provided, but you can interpret them in whichever way you wish. This matrix helped me to see
that even though it is just a book, it is another way to incorporate technology into the classroom without overdoing it. Students
are very into technology these days, and this type of program would even be useful in a kindergarten classroom. Since this type
of program can be interchangeable, I think that incorporating knowledge, pedagogy, and content can be completely overlapped. I
definitely see storybird as a useful tool for my future classroom.
