Digital Story 2/ Did you know Video reflection

This week we learned about the different programs we could use to make our digital story.
I think that Windows Movie Maker might the be easiest and most familiar for me to use. My group prepared our topic, story board and script. It was pretty interesting and worth it to do things step by step. Now all we need to do is just insert our pictures, add the audio and narration and we should be pretty set for our next class session.
I think that making a digital story would be a great way to express information for students and an easy way for students to grasp the information. The digital stories not only relay information but they are fun to watch and full of exciting sounds and easy to understand narrations. I also think it is beneficial to have the narration along with the pictures because I think that our minds tend to correlate the two and it is easy for us to store the information if we have both the visual and audio remembrance.
In my class I know that I will use the digital stories. I can see it being very beneficial especially for subjects such as Social Studies or Science for students to have both the visual and audio narrations for the subjects. I think they are great, I enjoy them and I know that my students will also.

Did you know? reflection
I have seen this video a couple of times and a couple of different variations for this video. Every time I see it, I still feel overwhelmed but the statistics. It is so amazing how rapidly people are learning, using and spreading technology. Children at young ages and older people all involved doing the same things, using the same Internet, connecting and helping technology spread like a weed. Amazing!
