In Room 20, We Have Fun!

As a way of wrapping up our second grade Poetry Unit, I decided that putting together a class poem and creating a digital story would just what the students need.  I'm so happy that my students were able to experience the art of digital storytelling because they LOVED the result.

So, here it is...I hope you enjoy it as much as my class and I did!


           

The History of Canton, Connecticut

Since the next topic in our Social Studies unit will be on the History of Canton, I figured it would be very fitting to create a video to introduce my students to the History of Canton, Connecticut.  I'm very happy with the way my digital story came out, and I can't wait to show it to my students!! Let me know what you think!
                                                                                                        

Microsoft Movie Maker

Who would have thought...such an amazing tool has been living on my computer for the past few years, and I JUST discovered it.  Microsoft has put out some pretty great programs, and yes...this absolutely is one of them!!  Not only is it user friendly, it also offers many great features too!  After playing around with the program for a bit, I discovered how to include voice over, even with music playing in the background!  Uploading the video was as easy as clicking the YouTube icon. Burning a DVD or saving an HD version of the video were also options offered to me.  I can't wait to create more videos using Microsoft Movie Maker!
