This week we put together our Pecha Kucha! This project was fun and challenging! I created mine using voicethread and enjoyed learning some more of the formatting tools. It was difficult to get my timing down on the dialogue so I didn't go over my twenty seconds, but after a few takes on some of the pictures I got it right!
This week we also were required to create a rubric for a multimedia project. I have done an assignment in the past about famous entrepreneurs. The students create a presentation about a famous entrepreneur, but the presentation would be a great digital story instead. Now, if I decide to change the project I have a rubric to go with it!
In our group, we evaluated Aviary Tools and Jay Cut. Aviary has many free editing tools, including photo editor, video editor, and music creator. Jay Cut is a free online video editor. Both of these programs would be great to use in a classroom, especially now with budgets in question! It would eliminate purchasing expensive software or computers to run the software.
