Week 1/EDLD 5363

Creating a script, story board and putting all it in video format is a wonderful way for technology leaders to stay abreast of emerging technologies.  I have in the past, and will continue in the future, incorporate multimedia learning into my curriculum. “Researchers have found that multimedia helps people learn more easily because it appeals more readily to diverse learning preferences (Shank, n.d.).”  This week has taught me about digital storytelling and how developing a style and method are important aspects.  I enjoyed the collaboration with Ann, she suggested changing some of my pictures to photos that I had taken myself. She also was having difficulty with audio and we discussed how Audacity and MovieMaker are sometimes better options than PhotoStory.  When teaching it though, there are specific ways to make it a more concise way of expression. I believe I will offer the students an option concerning the format of their digital story.
