Digital Storytelling and EBooks

As with all things, change is difficult. Technology is changing all of the time and it is challenging to keep up with everything that it has to offer. I have seen several digital storytelling videos over the past several years, and everytime was moved. At the time I didn't realize that there was a specific classification for it or exactly how it was done. I could see this being a valuable lesson for students, especially in the upper grades. While the first time may be challenging for both the teacher and the students creating several projects over a year would help everyone become more comfortable with Movie Maker. The media specialist could have several resource kits created for younger students. Older students could be reponsible for locating their own pictures and audio.

I have had little exposure to EBooks and really don't have the interest in them. While being able to download information is valuable, I find it difficult to read excessive information that isn't in print form. There is something to be said for reading a book and having information in print at my hands. It may also be poor vision.
