Week 4

Since I want to teach the younger grades, the kids probably wouldn't use photostory, although I was pleasantly surprised with how decently easy it was to figure out. I think the hardest thing for me in incorporating a digital storytelling project in an elementary classroom if I am making the video would be the sheer amount of time it takes to make one.


A couple of important notes:

-I chose to do my video using a poem about friendship, because I am an ECE major and the core standards in Utah for the younger grades talk a lot about students coming to understand their own identities within larger contexts and I see friendship as one of these contexts.

-When it came to scanning in my storyboards, I used a male friend's scanner, and due to the honor code did not go back to his bedroom, so he actually scanned it for me. I then posted it, and also asked him to explain to me the scanning process.
