-Digital+Story+Telling+Project+(rp)

My video project is a story about one of my friends and I taking a road trip around Mt. Pleasant last semester. We learned so much more about each other and how we wanted to to go about our lives. This journey taught us about the obstacles we will face in life and how to overcome them, even if we didn't know that at the time. Enjoy!

By using Picture Story 3, I learned how to use a new technology on my own. The program was very easy to control and had helpful links to get my project exactly how I wanted. It has tools to add text, sound recording, and a music file. I simply just added several of my photos, and some photos I downloaded from flickr.com. This program taught me how to make a compilation of photos in to a story. It was hard to figure out how to convert the video so it was up loadable to youtube.com. That was the biggest challenge to me and the greatest lesson I learned while constructing my Digital Story.=====

This could be very useful in the classroom because a teacher, such as me someday, could use it to create a lesson plan that students could easily follow through the pictures. It would be a good way to keep switching up the way I teach to keep students fully interested in what I was teaching. It is also a great idea to have students make their own stories like this as well. Having knowledge of the technology will also be beneficial if I ever assign a project to make a story like this to my students. Students these days are more interesting in the media side of the world and teaching them to use a program of this manner would be beneficial to them both in the classroom and out. Technology is ever changing and evolving, and it is nice to know that there will always be something new to teach as a business teacher.=====
