Digital Storybook: a story about a little girl with BIG dreams

http://storybird.com/books/a-little-girl-with-big-dreams-4/ I had a REALLY hard time writing this story. I normally consider myself somewhat creative but I had such a MAJOR writing block with this assignment. I'm still not satisfied with it but it's the best I could do. I don't know why but every time I would sit down and try to put words together to tell a clever story I would draw a blank. I can see how this would be fun and interactive for students in a classroom but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to never have to write another story on storybird...

Visual Learning Tools

I wish that I had been able to take this class one week earlier. I just finished creating a training video in MovieMaker and could've really used the help! My training video consisted of overlaying audio to a screen capture video that was about 15 minutes long. I created a title screen with a fade in/out and a theme song overlay during the introduction. I had never worked with MovieMaker before and found it really user friendly and easy to maneuver through. I can see how fun and interactive making a video could be for students. They'd get to use they're creativity and create something as unique and individualistic as they want. As a teacher, you could also create training videos that they could watch from home on a specific topic. I also had a blast creating a video in Animoto. It was really easy and once again, appealed to my creativity. I'm having a hard time figuring out how you could incorporate it into the classroom but it could be a fun project to learn about a students personality or likes/dislikes.
