Digital+Storytelling+Project

media type="custom" key="4950091"

This video is a story about me and my friend Skip and our adventure through town. Although we have had many adventures this is one that I most remember and thought would be an interesting story to tell. In this story Skip and I take a normal night and turn it into one that can be told over and over again.




 * Throughout this class I have learned many skills in the area of technology. I have learned how to make pod-casts, power-points with audio, use slide-share, and most recently tell a story using pictures and audio. In this project I learned how to upload pictures and sort them with audio in order to tell a story. For my new skill I decided to use a different program to put the video together. In past projects I have used IMovie to edit and create videos for this class. For the digital storytelling project I chose to use a program on my computer called Windows Movie Maker. This program allowed me to upload photos and easily record my audio inside the program to fit to each slide. At first it took me a while to figure out how to synch the audio with each slide, but because of my prior knowledge from EDU 290 I figured out the controls just fine. I actually stumbled upon this program by accident and just started to fool around with it. After a while I realize I could record my audio right in the program while looking at my pictures, sort of like a time line. In using this program it opened up opportunities for me in the future to create different presentations for a classroom setting. These presentations could be used to tell about a battle in the civil war with sound effects, pictures, and narrations to keep the students actively engaged in the topic. With the knowledge of this software I now have the ability to create video presentations on a Windows strictly computer. Before I only knew IMovie which can only be used on a Mac, but now I have the skills to make video projects on both soft wares. Overall I have learned many new skills throughout this course and I know I will continue to use them throughout my journey as a teacher.**
