Digital Story and IMovie

I had worked with IMovie a little bit before but never done this much work for a story, it is probably because the other movies I created were much shorter and not worth a grade. But working on this digital story gave the opportunity to see the many benefits to working with IMovie. I like that I can import my own pictures or someone else's photos in order to complete my story. I created a story about the new My Plate. This is what has taken place of the old food pyramid in America. I liked this storyline because there are many different ways I could of done this story and IMovie lets the user do whatever they please. From the length, to the direction of the photo, to the font and style it was all up to the user. My project which should be below really helped me understand how useful this site can be. I really think I could create some very interesting stories for my students. This gives teachers the opportunity to be creative and keep the attention of students. This is so important because teachers are struggling now more than ever with so many outside distractions and providing entertainment in teaching is a new very important area. I liked creating the digital story and it took me back to my journalism days when I created stories as a reporter in my class at UT.
