Reflection on Digital Story

First I actually learned quite a bit about the new subject of the food pyramid. The food pyramid was recreated to show all the food groups as equal. I hadn't really learned much about this since it was created past my time in 2nd grade. I also found the content flexible to where I could make it serious or fun for all ages. I really figured out that many technical skills were needed. It looks like you would have to be working on computers for ages but the fact is that anyone could do it. It does take a little amount of time from the beginning to the end especially while creating the script, but the actual work on the computer is simple. I learned that to start the process you must start with the script because my script basically stayed the same through the whole process, nothing else did. I choose over 4 different pictures for each slide trying to find my exact angle. I had a few songs in mind to tie it all together and I wasn't sure what the main point should be in each picture. Through out the process you will add and take away from the script but not as drastically as everything else. I learned how simple it was to incorporate media into my classroom. Techology really can be for everyone and it could add a new angle to every lesson. All students learn in different ways but this one really targets the visual, auditory and when teaching them how to make it the hands on students. I really want to use this in my classrooms in the future.
