As a group, we decided to do a project on the Ivory Billed Woodpecker. We are just starting on the project, but last week it was a lot of fun attempting to add sound. Since the class I have visited with our business education teacher and she has shown me some amazing software on the Mac. It was funny that the business education teacher just got back from Madison where she was learning about the things we are doing in class. She was very excited about our project and is doing something very similar with the 8th graders starting next year. Now she is teaching me how to add music into the project as well. It is funny that last week I was asked to go with the 8th grade field trip to D.C.. I was thinking about the features for story telling that would be fun to try after taking pictures on the trip. Each year, the students pay a large sum of money to have professional photographers take their pictures but I think a digital story would be much more appealing and have more meaning to them. The students could add video and interviews on the trip and insert all sorts of interesting features by doing a story telling project on the trip.
