Digital Camera

I finally received my digital camera!! This training was useful and gave me all the tools and information that I needed in order to use my camera effectively. I also learned how to crop and edit my photos for whatever use I may have. I am so excited. Receiving the digital camera now makes my artifact easier to do. I was using the document camera to show use of it in the classroom, but I didn’t have a camera to do so. I used the document camera to take pictures of the information to be displayed and a student at the board, but it did not truly verify my use of the document camera. Maybe next year, the team will distribute the digital camera first and then the document camera to make it easier to complete the artifact.

I did like how easy and more efficient photostory is to use. It is ideal for use in the classroom and for my students to use. I actually tried using movie maker and found it to be tedious. It took a longer time to create a movie, and it was not as easy as photostory, when having to add music. I was able to quickly devise a story with narration. Now, all I need is a pair of headphones with a mic to replicate the same thing we completed in training. Even though I don’t have the headset, I will still be able to have my students create a story. Now, what will that story be about??
