By using digital storytelling, a teacher can involve children in the learning process. I believe that making videos and voice threads are interesting ways for children to comprehend what they are learning. Also, by having these videos available on a common website such as teacher tube, other children can have the opportunity to view other clips. This allows the children to practice inquiry-based learning. They are able to search for topics that interest them from a broad base of topics.
The information in our video is based off of a combination of each of our unit questions. We put our individual questions together to create one unit question.
"How are beliefs portrayed through art, literature, and music by people in power."
By combining our questions we were able to relate certain times in history to power being expelled through art, literature, and music. We focused our question on two major historically power people. The power portrayed by these two people greatly affected people of the world.
To construct this video Katie and I used a digital still photo camera. We uploaded our clips to Windows Moviemaker and pieced them together in a short video series. As an added effect to our clips, we maneuvered the camera in a panning motion to activate the shot. We used short transitions because our dialog was linked together. I believe that an audience will enjoy our video because it is informative and to the point.
