Digital+Storytelling+Project+JT

I did my digital storytelling project on my life with my best friend. The video goes to tell about our lives growing up together and how we have stayed so close with going to different colleges. There are many pictures of all of the times we spent together, and the audio gives you a brief step into our 18 years of being best friends. I enjoyed making this video because I was able to pick a topic that really means something to me. media type="custom" key="5928065"

This was a great learning experience for me. I have never used the program Imovie before so it was a lot of fun to be able to play around with and create a video with my own personal pictures. It was also cool how I got to add my own audio using a portable microphone that hooked up the computer; I was able to stop the audio where I wanted so that it corresponded with the correct pictures. After creating this project I now have the new skill of being able to make a video on anything want. I now have the tools to create something new, using my own personal pictures and audio. This enabled me to share a personal story in a different way then I usually would. Being able to add pictures to a story that you are telling really adds a lot to the presentation. It makes it more personal for the audience and is a lot more interesting to listen to. This is a great tool for a future educator. Not only for me as a teacher to be able to use in the classroom, showing your students a video, but it is also a great tool to be able to teach your own students and maybe even have them create their own personal video. This is also a great way for the teacher to get to know their students better; if they share a personal experience it gives you more incite on where all of your students are coming from.
