For this assignment I actually have spent quite a bit of time creating a digital story about our recent school trip to Italy that I led, but I've been having issues getting the file uploaded, so in the meantime, here's a digital story (video) I created explaining our Senior Survival Program that we run for our seniors each year. I'm still a little fuzzy as to whether or not a digital story MUST have narration over the top, but with my journalism background, I always prefer to let my subject matter do the talking. Anyhow I think this is a spectacular option for the classroom, especially since kids are so ready to consume modern day media in its many forms. The only drawback that I can see is the time it takes to put these kinds of things together. In the small amount of video editing I've done, I've already logged more than 100 hrs at this computer and that's for about a total of 1 hr of video! So the benefit is huge! But the time it takes to put quality stories together is also huge, unless you've got a lot of training and a pro-style editing station.
Whatever the case, I love putting things like this together. Please enjoy and share your comments!
