This week we learned how to use different programs that can be used to share information via digital story telling. I was really excited to learn how to use iMovie because now it won’t just be an icon on my computer!!! I really am taking this class at the perfect time because it is helping me to learn how to use my new mac! I also watched a presentation about digital technologies like digital photography and video. I also read some information on podcasting and I learned that podcasting stands for portable on demand casting. I once once again excited to see that I was going to have to watch another tutorial for an Apple program, this time it was Garage Band!!!!
I will definitely be able to use both digital storytelling and podcasting in the education field. By knowing how to use cool programs like animoto and iMovie, I will be able to make interesting and fun slideshows for my students. Also, Garageband will enable me to record myself giving either lessons for maybe when a substitute is filling in for me and it will also enable me to make podcasts for the class. I think that knowing how to use so many different technologies and programs will boost my marketability to employers. Additionally, I plan to use some of the cool things that I have learned this week just in everyday life. For example, I have already created several slideshow videos with pictures of my friends and I.
This youtube video shows how digital storytelling can be used in the field of education. This relates to me because I am going into the field of education, so it will be helpful to know of ways to use digital story telling!
