End of Day 2

Joe wasn't here today, but I did more visualizing on what I wanted to do with the digital story. Dr. Luongo did help me break down how the picture and sounds will work together despite not having too much dialogue. Knowing this is due next week, I feel a little more inclined to work on this as soon as possible because of the amount of work it actually requires to have it complete.

Digital Story Day 2

Last Tuesday Joe and I have worked on trying to understand what exactly is required from us when it comes to our digital story. I believe we have an adequate understanding and are able to move on. Since last class I have written out a rough outline as to what will go on in our digital story. It involves the subject waking up late and being completely unprepared for their presentation coming up later that day. By showing the consequences and chaos that occurs when being unprepared we hope to convey an example of what not to do on an important day to our students.

Today Joe and I will go over the "plot" and the sequence of events that will occur in our digital story. Once we come to a consensus we will hopefully start working with any of the story making programs. We will probably make our way to finding, collecting, and saving our photos by the end of today.

Digital Story Day 1 - End of Day

Joe and I have an idea of what we want to do with our digital story that we believe will be pretty entertaining. Our lesson is on Public Speaking, so using our digital story as either a anticipatory set or a closer, we intend to create a story based on a man or woman who is preparing for their speech that is about to go drastically wrong. We think by adding humor and situations that nearly everyone has been in, our class will be able to relate as well as take a lesson from our digital story.

Digital Story Day 1

Having been absent the day we started the digital story, I feel at a disadvantage. In addition to that, I do not have the digital story text book. Judging from the digital story hand out I do not feel this will be entirely impossible for me to create or understand as it coincides with my major. The part I fear most is the finding, selecting, and scanning of images as well as picking one particular topic for the digital story. I'm not entirely creative, either, and that much will impede my progress.

Group Lesson Plan

My partner for the paired lesson plan is Joe, but because we haven't talked about it yet we still need to decide what we will be working on.
