Digital Story

Using iMovie is one part of technology I have definitely not utilized being a Mac owner. I have used iPhoto and have edited many pictures, but the closest thing I have made to a movie is powerpoint. 

Working on the Digital Storyboard was a lot simpler than I thought it would be. It is basically a slideshow with added captions and transitions put to music.

I am happy it did not involve any acting! I had a little trouble with making sure my pictures were the precise size for the slide so they did not come out blurry and too zoomed in/out.  The transitions were simple and I chose to use them sparingly after only the slides with text only (no picture). The text looked a lot larger on my computer screen at home when making the video than it did appear on YouTube, but I adjusted so it is still clearly readable. I like the most of tools on iMovie as it was simple add/delete and move the slides around.

I should probably spend a little more time being creative with this program. I enjoyed making a "how-to" video, however it wasn't as exciting as I thought it could be. I am not sure I would use this type of program for a lesson plan, but maybe to showcase student's work or showing pictures from our classe's concerts and festivals .
