Digital Storytelling, Week 1 of CEdO530

Well, I must say I am quite excited for this class! I am really looking forward to finding out about ways to improve and enhance some of the presentations that I use in my classroom. I realize that some of my presentations are not the most exciting for my students. Improving those presentations could keep more students interested in the material being covered and would increase the amount of information being retained by the students.

So far, I am having a blast taking pictures and posting them! I am looking forward to the final project that we will be doing with the pictures.

It took some time to find three different stories to watch. The stories I found were short, all less than four minutes. However, despite their shortness, they conveyed emotion, peaked my interest, and answered my questions. These are all things important to telling a story. Hopefully, I will be able to create some stories just as effective.
