Several of my Kindergarten students have been working on
creating their own stories for some time now. When I decided to use iMovie for
my digital story I knew I would need some practice with the program so I
decided to start small by having my students illustrate and then record their
stories and after I was able to put it all into iMovie. It was also a great
opportunity for the students to see their work in a whole new light. Once this
was complete I showed it to my students and since then they have not stopped
asking when they can make another one. I also showed it to this student’s mother
and she was stunned what he done. I can't wait to create more!
I liked the "the end" with one of the students- made me smile. It's so nice to see the excitement that these tools generate with our students.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for your little ones. It's awesome that we have all this new technology to use with students that may be apprehensive to write and read.
ReplyDeleteGreat digital story! He spoke so clearly and read so nicely! Adorable illustrations too!
ReplyDeleteThe students love to do this. This is a great motivator for our students. Great job!! Loved his names! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is great that the mother was pleased. We need to do more of this sharing with parents and documenting students' accomplishments.
