Inspiration Story Outline


media type="youtube" key="D_4_mASwReg" height="340" width="560"  Digital Storytelling is a new concept I have learned as a student in Technology in Education (EDU 290). Never before had I even considered making my own story using digital technologies. New to the Mac computer and all of the software programs installed, this year I was able to become more aware of how to use it. Familiarizing myself with iMovie allowed me to create my own story using excellent technologies. By uploading photos and using the effects available on the program I was able to create a life-like experience with a series of images I had chosen. Also, by recording my voice (as learned before from the podcast assignment) into the program and adding it to the video, I was able to demonstrate the ideas behind the pictures and make it a more personal story. With both of these technologies put together, a digital story was created, all with a great deal of ease. After the story was complete, iMovie allowed me to effortlessly upload my story onto my YouTube account. By completing this project I was able to learn many things using the iMovie program. First, I learned how to use different photos and effects to create a story illustration. Second, the recording option allowed me to add the words to the story, making it more personal and interesting. Finally, iMovie permitted me to easily upload my story (including the illustration and the story) onto the internet where it would later be accessible to me and the public.
