This module introduced me to some totally new language, such as vodcast and iTunesU. Of course, I have heard about and used iTunes and podcasts, but these extensions to my vocabulary were a bit daunting, until I realised that it was just another attempt to confuse, bewilder and perplex me (not hard to do on any day!!). After all that, I think I have my head around some of the concepts and can identify some of the uses. I hope that if I do narrate a story, I can use my “broadcast voice” and make a professional job of it. Some of the stories narrated on Storynory were a bit exaggerated and sounds gratuitous to me.
Anyway, I am the beginner, so it is easy to hold the big stick- I will eat humble pie later and let you know what else is on the menu!! I loved the Greek Myths section on this site and also the other range of stories from around the world- a really broad selection. Greek myths has been one of my favourite text types to teach in Year 3. The kids really love the whole concept of Greek mythology as it related to DS games and they also love the blood and guts too. This site was one that I have not seen before. I thought I would share part of the Greek "culcha" with you- enjoy!!
I will definitely have a go at developing digital storytelling as I think it is something the kids would really benefit from as another tool for presenting their work and displaying their creativity. I have not used movie maker at all, so this is one area I can definitely develop to use for descriptions in Monster Storms as part of Jason Project work.
