I really enjoyed experimenting with Windows Live Movie Maker; its ease of use made the task at hand a very pleasureable experience. In the past I have used animoto, but Movie Maker allowed me to include more elements in the presentation. After completing this assignment I am now equipped with skills that I can transfer to the classroom setting: I will be able to integrate interesting slide shows into my lessons and provide students with more opportunities to express their knowledge and ideas. Not only will students be able to use technology, but also they will build upon other skills such as logical thinking, planning, outlining, oral presentation and creativity. I look forward to using incorporating more frequent use of digital story telling in the classroom.
While this assignment was beneficial to my acquisition of technology skills, I am nonetheless apprehensive about posting personal information online for everyone to view. This is my only drawback!
