Digital Story - Day 1

I think that today my partner and I will be learning the basics of how to put together a digital story.  I am really excited to play around with different pictures, music, and sounds.  Today, I would really just like to get comfortable with the program we will be working with.  I would like to see all of the options available to me and I would like to start brainstorming with my partner.  We have decided to make our digital story about the life of Edgar Allan Poe.  He had a very tortured life which is reflected in his works.  So far, we only have a basic idea of what we will be doing.  I have not put anything in the digital storytelling workbook yet and I have not read or bought the digital storytelling textbook yet.  However, I can catch up very fast and I am not at all worried about not meeting the deadline.  I am a bit of a procrastinator, but I always pull through in the end.  After seeing some examples of digital stories, I am very excited to get started on making one.

Partners for Lesson Presentation


I will be co-teaching a lesson with Michelle Gentile.  Since we are both English majors and we both enjoy the works of Edgar Allan Poe, we have decided that one of his works will be the topic of the lesson (most likely a poem).
