Laura's Adventurous Summer Travel (Digital Story)

Today in class I learned how to create a digital story using movie maker. I learned how to add music, pictures, tranistions between slides, captions, credits, a title page and when to add the text to a slide. At times I became frustrated because the captions I was writing for a particular picture would end up on another slide or picture. With the help of Amy I was able to figure out how to fix this problem. Adding the pictures to the digitial story was the easiest part. I also enjoyed writing the story board. If I were to do this another time, I would take it one step at a time and not become frustrated. Since I know how everything, well most everything, works, I believe I would be much more successful in future uses. I can use this tool in my classroom by telling a story of what the children have learned over a period of time, as well as documenting a class field trip. I can use the students to help create the story board. I look forward to creating another digital story with movie maker in the near future!
