Digital Story Telling

Attached here is the digital story I created. I enjoyed this assignment very much. I can definitely see myself using this as a project in the future with my students because it is very creative and open to the mind. It really lets the student show off their creative side and lets us see into their mind. It is definitely a different and fun project that really helps encapsulate writing and creativity.

One of the things I did not like about this project was getting all the pictures to line up correctly with the words being spoken in the video. This is a very time consuming project and can be very tedious. The most revealing part of this project to me was how special the place I come from is and how blessed and lucky I truly am to be from Minster. I think this project has the ability to let students really sit down and reflect on themselves and those around them.

Extra Credit #3

After re-designing my classroom to accommodate my students disabilities my classroom looks a little different. To accommodate the student with a hearing problem I thought it would be best to add a PA system in the classroom that would be on the ceiling. I as the teacher would speak into a microphone I wear around my neck and it would go through the speakers and help the student hear better no matter where he is at in the classroom (the red circles). For the student struggling with reading and math I installed an iPad and audiobook station. The iPad has apps and activities to help those students in the subject they're struggling in and the audiobook can help those kids who are struggling with reading.  The SmartBoard can also help the students struggling with reading and math. I expanded the width between all the desks to help the student who is in the wheelchair so they can still move around the room and collaborate with other students.
