Creating a digital story has been fun and exciting. I feel like digital stories can be very valuable teaching tools. I feel like they can be used to introduce lessons, recap lessons, or as one-on-one teaching tools. You can fit a lot of information into a 3 minute clip!
The actual making of the digital story was tough, but not too bad...at least in the beginning. It's been a great experience and teaching tool for me on my new computer. Once I was able to figure out the basics, it was easy and smooth sailing. When I tried to up the ante and add music, it didn't go quite as well. I wasn't able to figure out how to fade the music in or out, though I was able to cut the length and change the volume. I also had trouble burning it to cd. In fact, I haven't yet been able to figure it out, and I've tried many times. I was able to export the file using Quicktime onto my hard drive, but I'm not able to get it off of my hard drive. I'm happy to be taking this class while simultaneously learning how to use my computer because I feel like I'm discovering programs and the aspects of my computer that I wouldn't find so soon without this class.
