Digital Story: Description: Through the use of a program such as iMovie, you can take pictures and sound to create a digital story! First, you had to gather all the pictures you wanted to use and choose the correct background music. Than, you had to put the pictures in order and record any sounds during the proper clips. Finally, you put them together on the storyboard and add in some transitions. After, you have your very own digital story!
Self-Assessment: The digital story was a very fun assignment. I think it would have been more engaging and meaningful if we were able to do it on whatever topic we wanted. However, it was cool to see how technology can really help create meaningful stories!
Educational Setting: I would use the beginning of the year for upper elementary students only. I would have them create a digital story about themselves and their family. I think this would be a cool technological way to get to know each student. I would create one too so that my students could learn about me too. This is a different method of putting an autobiography together which helps fit in with the UDL approach. This fits under the NETS-S standards in the Creativity and Innovation, being that students demonstrate creative thinking in how they put their digital stories together.
