Digital Story Reflection

What - We worked on our digital stories today. It was nice to get class time, I learned how to add sound from garage band and how to put a picture on powerpoint and then add it to our story. This is a fun project. 

So What - We are doing ours on the civil war, I think this would be a great eye opener for students. Digital stories are a great way to introduce a new subject and get students excited to learn. Its a great learning tool as well. they are time consuming, it not something you would be able to do every day. I also think it could be effective to have my students make their own digital stories as a learning tool. Instead of writing a report they could make a digital story. 

Now What- I loved making our digital story. I will definitely make digital stories in my own classroom as a way to introduce topics. I will also have my students write their own video.

Video- I used my friends computer and it would not support this video. It asked me to down load a new media player which, I didn't want to download something on her computer that she wasn't going to use. sorry
