Blog Entry #7 - Digital Storytelling Issues

I started creating a story for my kindergarten students teaching the five senses. At first, I did not think that it would be very time consuming. However, I had a lot of trouble downloading and adding a video to my Movie Maker project. After days of trying, I finally discovered that I was trying to download a video that was too large for the Movie Maker application. I then discovered that I could download clips within the video and that made life much simpler. Now, I am trying to decide when I plan to use the video, when to speak, and what to say. I can see how students that go through this same learning process would be great authors. This storytelling application requires a lot of thought and can incorporate a lot of different details. I can't wait to see my final project and look forward to using it in the future.

    Krist,

    I agree that it was by far the most difficult project to do. If I had not had some help from my friend, I never would have been able to download and use my video. I was lucky enough to find a very short one on my topic. I too will try this with my students.

    Krista, even though it would be challenging, doing one of these projects with your students would probably be a lot of fun. Kids that age are so devoid of inhibitions and that can make for some great video clips!
