DIGITAL STORYTELLING

I will never mock any film maker ever again and say "I can make a better movie than that!"  As I took a shot at digital storytelling using Photostory3 I quickly learned that pacing a story, setting the mood, incorporating visual images that move the story, and blending in music takes a lot of practice.  You can watch my short story by clicking on the image on the left. 

As a future math teacher, I do not know how much I will use digital storytelling to teach my lessons.  However, I think it is a great tool for presentations.  I'm already thinking that I might use it to create an end-of-year video catalogging the journey that my students take throughout the year in my math class.  I think that students feel a sense of accomplishment if they are able to reflect on what they've learned throughout the year.
