2008/10/26 Digital Storytelling

Well I have started class no. 2 of my journey to a Masters degree. The last 7 weeks have been a blur. I have learned so much and there is so much to learn! I am not afraid of the "learn as I go" approach and I certainly am not afraid to run for help either but sometimes the amount of technology out there is a bit overwhelming. Not being a tech degreed person I don't have the same comfort level of many of my classmates. However I see the vast potential for using all this wonderful technology in our classrooms. And perhaps my lack of knowledge helps me because I am open to any solution! I am not tainted by any prior experience other than my own. So, digital storytelling should be fun. I hope that I will be able to create projects that are of a good quality that I can use and share in my classroom and school.

Digital Storytelling First assignment: Introduction Video


I think this is one of my favcrite assignments, getting to actually see my classmates. When I created my movie, my biggest problem was that I had far too much to say! I knew I wanted to use both video and still images to give the viewer a variety of visual stimulation. If I had spent more time I would have also included some music with my intro but I admit I was pressed for time to complete it.


I had difficulty editing my closing because I didn't stop talking and leave myself enough space to edit it. I definitley have learned something about timing when I videotape things.
