Reflection: show that you understand the practical applications of using Storybird (digital storytelling)
in your future pedagogy

With this matrix, as it is specific to the website Storybird, I have chosen to group each sub-subject
within their subject because Storybird will accomplish the same goals for the subjects, and do not
need to be individualized for each sub-subject. I believe that Storybird will be a great asset in
teaching, as it can be utilized by students to demonstrate their knowledge on what they have
recently learned. If students are still struggling with what they are learning after completing the
activity, then the constuctivism and gamification activities can be utilized after.
