Digital Storytellong 2

After finishing my project, I feel great. I am happy to be able to find a story in my life to share. After finishing my project, suddenly I realized that I have many stories to tell and that they do not have to be big! Even small pieces of my life can be a basis for a Digital Storytelling!
Creating the story was time consuming. I was surprised how every time I was sure it is going to end, I had more things to edit or more additions to put in it (music, effects, etc.).
I am happy we had this experience and I am happy I have done the whole thing by myself - from finding and downloading the Movie Maker to the final product!

When corpora ting it in my classroom in the future, I think it is very important to have a strict plan and very clear steps. Otherwise, it will take forever! Especially for very young students, I think there should be a frame to which the story is to be inserted. I mean, some type of pattern that have certain structure or specific wording where the children can insert their personal narratives into.

I am curious to hear stories of teachers from our classroom who tried it with their children, or are going to try it!
