This week in EDLD 5363 Multimedia and Video Technology we had to put together a digital story about ourselves. To help us with our project we read the Digital Storytelling Cookbook by Joe Lambert. The reading warns that we should not try to force a story but that we should just answer some questions. These questions were supposed to help me arrive at the topic for my story. As I read I had my doubts that this was going to happen but by the time I finished the article I knew what I wanted to do. I talked about how I achieved all my dreams and got everything I wanted even though the end result was nothing like I had imagined.
I loved doing the project. I was amazed at how easy the Microsoft software was to use. It was very easy to go back and edit what I had done, which allowed me to make corrections and additions. I used software like this years ago and expected my video to resemble the ones that I done before. I can't believe how professional it looks. I believe that the professional appearance of the video would give it credibility in the classroom. I also think that it would hold the attention of the students. The ease of use means that young students could use this software to create their own videos. I liked that the user has the ability to create music within the program so that copyright issues are taken care of. I can see myself making introductory videos for the classes that I teach and also creating recruitment videos for my program. I am glad that I was exposed to this technology and look forward to using it in my classroom.
