Thing 10 - Digital Storytelling

1. Storyboarding Screenshot













2. I was not able to post my video to my Face of the Classroom site in Weebly because you have to pay to upload to Weebly. Instead I uploaded the video to my Google Account at the following address: https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B5zWUBRQ05zlZjk5ODBkZTctYjRhNi00Yzc0LWIwOTMtMzg5ZWQxYWU3ODY0&hl=en



3. I believe that digital storytelling can be a very versatile tool for the classroom. Digital storytelling can be a good way for a teacher to introduce a new topic. It can give students a chance to listen to and view information about a subject in a fun and new way.


Also, digital storytelling can be a great way for students to produce and share their own information. I think this type of project brings in many skill sets. Teachers can have students practice their writing, storyboarding, and planning abilities. At the same time students have the ability to express their own creativity within the project by adding photos, narration, and effects to the work.


Through using Photostory I saw how important it was to plan out the story and the images that were going to be used as the story develops. I thought it was very easy to use, though I wished it had a few more options for editing. Also, though I see how it is easy to add video for each image sometimes I wish I could time things out easier when I want the narration to span several images.


4. The feedback the I received on this project was that my music could have fit the story better. I might agree, but after searching the creative commons for way too long I sort of settled on the music that I chose. Also, some of the images could have been made to appear at better angles. Other than that, the feedback I received was positive.
