Digital Storytelling Assignment


Assignment:   Digital Storytelling
 
Uses in the Classroom: This assignment could be used for so many different subject areas in the classroom.  I would use it for a Social Studies project.  I would have the students choose an important historical figure for whatever time period that was being studied.  The students would research the historical figure and tell a story about the life and contributions of this person.
 
Issues to Consider: Students will need to have access to a microphone with a headset. They will also need to have access to movie making software such at Windows MovieMaker. The students will also need to be reminded to abide by copyright laws.  A lesson on how to use Creative Commons to find pictures, videos, and music that they are legally allowed to use.
 
Copyright:  For my video "Adventures of a Small Town Girl" there is a Copyright page at the end of the video to cite the works I used that belonged to others.  Most of the pictures I used were pictures that I took or my family took.
