Other's Digital storytelling projects

I really enjoyed watching what others have done for their digital storytelling projects. Here are the six projects that I watched and commented on:

Nichole Mahas- How to keep from Getting Sick. This was a very fun video, very student oriented. It had some really good points that usually get looked over by kids such as keeping their hands away from their eyes and mouth.

Kami Orr- Hooray for Me! Loved this movie. It was so creative and done very professionally. She did a great job on her selection of pictures to go along with the story. It was very inspirational.

Sabrina Huyett- book trailer for Hatchet. This trailer was so intense! The thrilling music along with the dramatic narration and questions really sucked me into it, and definitely set a tone of great adventure.

Ashley Daley- book trailer for The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. The music selection really added to the pictures from the movie and book. I also really enjoyed the narrator's voice, it helped set a magical and adventurous tone.

Katie Matthews- Katie Did. This was such a fun story, I could tell she put a lot of work into this. It is going to be a great tool in the classroom because the students can really relate to it, and it will get their own imaginations going too.

Whitney Lethcoe- We are Family. I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was such a wonderful idea! It would let the students get to know you as their teacher, but also will teach them how they too play an important role in their own family or even in the classroom and it is great to be different!

By watching all of these very different videos I realized how much material can be done or covered in this very fun and entertaining way for the students! I enjoyed seeing the variety of ideas for movies and will remember them so I can implement them in my classroom.
