WOW! I really have a lot of mixed feelings about this first lesson. I am very excited to learn more about Digital Storytelling and how I can use it in my classroom. I am especially excited to do the first group assignment, which is to make a list of 15 sites that have copyright free audio, video, graphics, and pictures. I am always looking for sites that I can direct my students to for using copyright free materials in their presentations. I do talk to my third graders about copyright, and I have often wished that I just had a list of resources to point them to when doing their own projects and presentations. Now I will have that; very exciting!
The reason for my mixed feelings is the amount of work for each week. I'm having a hard time fitting it all in this week, and I am just coming off a four day weekend. I'm wondering how I will ever get it done with a full week of work! I am really learning a lot, I'm just really feeling stressed about getting all this done in a week.
You can do it!!! Just take it a step at a time. It does seem very overwhelming when you look at the assignments, but if you just accomplish a little every day, you'll get it done. I know you will!!!!
ReplyDeleteLike anything it's all in structuring out what you need to do and when, and I'm always hoping that if you get stuck a classmate or I can assist you.
ReplyDeleteWe will be telling stories and finding ways to improve presentations. You tell as story in your blog post, and together we will find a way to make it all fit together and work.
I am also really excited to see what sites people come up with. There is sooo much out there that we can't see it all. It's nice when someone else finds something good and shares it. It cuts down on the work we have to do.
ReplyDeleteWhat was your favorite site that you found?
