Digital Storytelling

1. What have your learned (one or two key points) about digital storytelling by creating your own video?

I always knew that planning is essential to creating any media project. I created a script, storyboard and shot list to plan my video. The storyboard and shot list really helped with planning my images and recording the voice over.

2. What aspects of digital storytelling did you learn while viewing the websites above?

Telling a specific type of story, i.e. memory, lessons learned, legacy, etc.

3. How might you use video in your classroom next year? (Perhaps even as a component
of your project).

I plan to use video as part of my project: World War II Monologues. Students will videotape a dramatic monologue based on the experiences of a particular individual or group affected by the war. The video will be edited in I-Movie or Final Cut Express.
