Digital Storytelling Projects

"Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet."
— Douglas Adams

Technology decides when it wants to work and when it doesn't.  My project was definitely too dependent on it actually working.  What was I thinking...school computer lab computers all actually work at the SAME time...CRAZY!! :)  So I have about half of my class finished with their stories and now I'm off on vacation.  Hopefully the other half will finish this week so I can publish them when I return.  Some students chose to type their text and then use a music clip for the background while others decided to narrate their story.  They had that choice..especially since the microphones weren't working on all of the computers.  However, when looking at all of the students' choice of computer images vs hand drawn and narration vs. music, the students' personality and unique style shines through. I've put a few of their projects below.  Enjoy!!
