Session 1 - Digital Storytelling (Pitt County Schools)
Great deal of the way the brain is wired is visual in nature.
Did she just say the Spec Ed kids didn't come to the library because there was no reason for them to come??
Doesn't grade them other than if they do at least 1 minute they get a 100. ?? No rubric is used or other means of assessing by the kids themselves. WHY????
Doesn't post anywhere other than the common folder. WHY???
Illustrated how to use Movie Maker by having audience members come up and add components.
If I had not had to sit in the very front row of a packed house, I would've left. Disappointing in that the presentation was not organized, and they seemed to be at such a beginning stage in using it, the audience knew more about how to apply it in the classroom. Not much was mentioned about the steps taken with students to reach a final product. More of Movie Maker tutorial at the end.
Oh well....

- One third grade teacher had her class create "I Have a Dream" presentations. They each had a template, brainstormed, and collaborated in groups of 4-5 to create their show. They researched MLK's dream to help them create theirs.
