Here is my draft of my digital story. It is a definite work in progress. This has taken me longer then expected. This is mostly due to learning how to use iMovie. I am so use to using a PC that it has taken many hours just to get this. I still have to do a lot of fixes to it. Let me know what you think. I know I have issues right now with how it looks and the graphics. I need to figure them out. My voiceover may need some help also. Any tips on the voiceover.
This may seem a little depressing. The unfortunate thing is that with Child Development you sometimes have to talk about the depressing things related to children. This digital story is about the myths of childhood. Students are very colored with the idea that childhood is bliss for all. The media paints a pretty picture for them which they tend to believe. They also have the notion that things happen to other people in other far away lands, not to them and those within their communities. This digital story is for part of a three part intro of the course. Students will view this video and then break off into work groups. There are four areas where activities for each of the myths are discussed. This video will make it easier for me because I will not have to spend a lot of time telling them the information which will allow them to have more time to work on the activities.
Wow Kate! What a moving digital story! I had goose bumps throughout watching it. I thought the song you picked for the background was absolutely perfect and the images you found really brought home what you were saying. My only advice would be that some of the words on your slides go by quickly and were hard to finish reading them. I am not sure if that could be adjusted. Other than that well done!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Christina the Digital Story was well made. The song choice made it! Your images were good, but agreeing with Christina above, some of the words went by a little to fast making it hard to read. In regards to your voiceover...how did you do it? There were times where it seemed like you were far away from the microphone, so maybe speaking closer to the microphone would be better? I didnt use imovie so I am not sure if that is how it is.
ReplyDeleteI like the style of your digital story. I agree with the ladies, this video is very moving. I happen to love the song you chose. The style of using your voice narration along with the song creates a certain mood to your piece and enhances it in that it makes me want to listen to what message you have to say in addition to your visual message. Some of the words that scrolled did happen a little too fast for me to read them, but overall your voice sounds clear and I think your students will be excited to create their own. You definitely used a few different tools that should encourage students to explore the different thing they can incorporate into a digital story.
