This week I learned how to post a video to youtube. I found this very helpful to me to know how to do this so that I can do it later on for my students. Making a digital story is a very useful and helpful thing to be able to do in the classroom. It gives the students a chance to learn something in a new way. By being able to upload any video, especially an education video online, will make it possible for anyone to watch. Most importantly, my students and their parents can watch the video at home. This way the parents will be able to see one thing their child is learning in school.
Recording my voice to a video was interesting. It did help me to really think about what I wanted to say, and to say it in a way so that everyone could understand me. This helped me to think about how I would give instructions when I am a teacher, because I want my future students to be able to understand me.
Video: Millenial Gereration
This video made me think about how much technology has grown and how it will continue to grow. A lot of kids growing up for me were more ahead of their parents in technology. But it was the opposite for me. My dad does the whole computer thing, which is nice for me. The children today do have such an advantage of technology today. They are almost learning faster then anyone else on how things work. I find it all interesting. I look forward to see what technology will look like in five years.

Reflection #5
My group decided to use photo story from windows for our digital story. Learning how to use photo story was fun. The main thing I enjoyed was how easy it was to use. There were no complications and hard parts in photo story. This is a great program for my future students to use when they are creating themselves. That is how simple photo story is.
Digital stories is one way I can communicate with my students parents by letting them see what their children have been able to do in class. They will see how excited their children are to show them what they have done and to see that I am using new up dated way to teach their children.
One way I will employ digital stories in my classroom is by creating a story that I will put up on the classroom site. This way my students will be able to watch the video at home with their parents. This can help me to save time during class if time is short and it will give the parents a chance to see what their children are learning in school.
A pro to Digital stories is that you can be as creative as you want to be. You can also use it to help teach anything you find helpful with that subject. The only con I see is the time to create a digital story and that some students if not taught correctly can create something bad.
Did You Know? Video
This video was really cool. I enjoyed it. With all of it’s did you know facts and then presenting more data of things happening today. The video did a good job of getting my brain ready to read the next did you know fact, and by the end, seeing those questions about what is happening in public schools today really made me think. It is amazing how fast technology has grown, and it is important to keep in mind about what is happening in our schools today when it comes to technology usage.
A Vision of Students Today Video
This video was very interesting. I saw a lot of things that happen to me and other classmates. We buy expenses books that we sometimes never use and don’t have enough time to read them all. But at the same time, spend way to much time watching tv and playing around on the internet. The technology we have today is great. But I don’t know if it has really been put to a good use for mankind? There really needs to be a better balance in schools today with using technology and books.

Digital Story Reflection
Reflection #4
These skills can help my students by giving them a chance to learn about history or anything else in a different way. It makes learning more fun than the same old looking at a book to learn about something far away. These tools will also help my students create by giving them a chance to think outside the box.
Digital stories will help me collaborate with my colleagues by giving us a chance to work together to create a story we all can use in our classrooms. When you split up big projects like this, you get to know each other’s ideas and how everyone works. As you learn how everyone works, you help each other with your skills.
I could employ these skills to achieve classroom objectives by showing the students a history lesson of what happened in the civil war. I would do this, so that the students get more hands on of what really happened in the civil war, but not to much hands on that it scares the students.
One pro of digital story is being able to let the students learn in a new fun way. You also are able to share what you have created with other teachers so that way you can help each other save time in the long run. A con of digital story is the time frame it takes to make one.
NASA Digital Story
I enjoyed this video. I have always liked learning about space and NASA. It is sad that there have been many lives lost while going to and from space. And our country is not the only one who lost lives, Russia has also paid a price for mans curiosity. Hearing that NASA has also been doing many other things to help our country is neat. They get one dollar for research and give back seven dollars to the country. That is good to know.
