Essential Essential QuestionsQuestions

» How can we teach essential knowledge, skills, and understandings to all students in a diverse academic setting?

» How can differentiated instruction be enhanced through the integration of educational technologies in the classroom?

Many educators believe in the ‘exceptionality’ of computers, viewing them as instructional talismans that can do for student learning what other reforms cannot.

“Tools for the Mind” – Mary Burns

Technology & Student Technology & Student LearningLearning

» This has resulted in the narrow focus on technology at the expense of the more important pillars of learning . . . cognition, instruction, assessment, and curriculum.

We are no longer teaching if what we teach is more

important than who we teach or how we teach.

(Carol Ann Tomlinson 2003)

What is What is digital digital

storytelling?storytelling?

What is digital storytelling?

» Digital storytelling is the process of writing about a story, and adding the multimedia elements of voice, imagery, and music to create a visual story.

What do students learn?

» The process of digital storytelling provides a high-quality learning experience because the learning experience honors the writing process first.

» The inclusion of the technology into the process represents a “value-added” approach where the inclusion of the technology extends the learning experience beyond what could be accomplished without technology.

Digital Storytelling . . .» develops visual and multimedia

literacy in students.» addresses the development of

the interpretation of digital media and the application of that interpretation to a personal message or story.

Digital Storytelling . . .» provides students with a

competitive and compelling voice by enlarging the boundaries of who students can communicate with and by increasing the depth and power of that communication.

Digital Storytelling . . .» permits students to recapture

creativity, develop it and intensify it, apply it, extend it…

» helps students write more effectively by permitting the visualization of the writing, resulting in an additional level of perception that extends the writing process to a place seldom reached.

Digital Storytelling . . .» provides an authentic personal

learning experience- as such; student investment is greatly increased resulting in greatly improved motivation and end product.

Digital Storytelling . . .» teaches elements of technology

and information literacy-students use many different computer applications and must be conversant about locating and managing visuals and video, as well as being able to do so in the context of copyright and fair use.

Why implement a

digital storytelling program?

Differentiating Differentiating InstructionInstruction

» Digital documentaries and digital storytelling tap into student interests and specific learning profile and allow teachers to customize content, process, & product according to students' readiness with background information and technological proficiencies.

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

-Confucius

Tell me and I forget.Teach me and remember.Involve me and I learn.

-Benjamin Franklin

--William Glasser

Why Digi Docs?Why Digi Docs?» One of the ways to move from

data to understanding is to tell the story and make the relevant connections

» Students sew the information together in an organized way that forces students to think about the entire body of information

Higher-Order Higher-Order ApplicationsApplications

» Digital video editing programs are higher-order applications

» The nature of digital videos overcomes the limitations of more static demonstration software that can be episodic and disjointed

According to Bernajean According to Bernajean PorterPorter

» Author of DigiTales: The Art of Telling Digital Stories A documentary uses an abundant

amount of primary sources Multiple points of view are

presented The students make a personal

connection and draw from a wider, global view

Project» A project contains the arrangement and

timing information of audio and video clips, video transitions, video effects, and titles you have added to the storyboard/timeline.

» A saved project file in Windows Movie Maker has an .mswmm file name extension.

» By saving your projects, you can open the project file later and begin editing it in Windows Movie Maker from where you last saved.

Movie» A movie is the final project you save by

using the Save Movie Wizard. » You can save a movie to your computer or

to a recordable CD, send it as an attachment in an e-mail message, or save and send it to the Web.

» The saved movie can be watched in a media player, such as Microsoft Windows Media® Player, or in a Web browser.

Rules of Thumb

•Be sure to keep all your source files in one folder.•If you need to open your project on another computer, you need both your source files folder and Windows Movie Maker project file.

Editing Projects

Using tools to edit your project

Editing a Project» You can use the

storyboard/timeline to create and edit projects. The storyboard and timeline both display your work in progress, but each provides a different view of your work: The storyboard displays the sequence of

clips. The timeline displays the timing of clips.

Editing a Project» After you add clips to the

storyboard/timeline to create a project, you can do the following: Rearrange the clips in the sequence you

want. Create transitions between clips. Add video effects to video clips and pictures. Trim the clips to hide unwanted segments (on

the timeline view only). Split and combine clips. Add narration that synchronizes with the

clips (on the timeline view only).

Video Editing Software

Basic Vocabulary

Get to know the basics

Video Clips» Video clips are segments of footage that you

select and manipulate in iMovie HD as you build and edit your movie.

» If you copy a section of video, or separate the audio from one piece of your footage and paste it elsewhere, those pieces are also called clips.

» Information about a clip is shown at the top of each clip in the clip viewer and the Clips pane. The number in the top-left corner of the clip indicates its length in minutes: seconds:frames.

Frames» A single still image in a video clip is called a

"frame." Movies are made up of a series of frames.

» When you move the playhead to a frame, the frame's location in the movie is displayed above the playhead. The location 01:08:15 shows that the frame occurs 1

minute, 8 seconds, and 15 frames into the movie.» The number of movie frames (or images) that flash

across the screen each second as you watch a movie is called the frames per second (fps), or "frame rate."

Clip Viewer» The clip viewer below the iMovie monitor displays

clips in the order that they will appear in your movie.

» It gives you a simple, straightforward view of the clip sequences and transitions used in your movie.

» You can easily drag clips to rearrange them or add clips to the clip viewer by dragging them from the Clips pane.

» You can also drag video files from the Finder desktop into the Clip viewer.

Clip Viewer

Timeline Viewer» The timeline viewer below the iMovie monitor

displays the movie's video track and two audio tracks.

» Use the timeline viewer to position and edit audio and video.

» The three tracks allow you to add and manipulate multiple layers of sound, including the sound contained in the video clips.

Timeline Viewer

Scrubber Bar» The scrubber bar below the iMovie

monitor represents the total length of a selected clip.

» A playhead appears at the top of the scrubber bar.

» You can drag the playhead along the scrubber bar to browse the frames, or "scrub," in your movie.

Scrubber Bar» When you hold the pointer under the

scrubber bar, crop markers appear. » You use the crop markers to select

frames in a clip. » The selected frames are represented by

a yellow shaded area in the scrubber bar.

Playhead» The triangular control that appears in

the scrubber bar and at the top of the timeline viewer is called the "playhead." Its position corresponds to the frame in the clip that is displayed in the iMovie monitor.

» As you play a movie, the playhead moves along the scrubber bar and timeline indicating the frames being displayed.

Crop Markers» Crop markers appear under the scrubber bar

whenever you select a clip and hold the pointer just under the scrubber bar.

» You use crop markers to select part of a video clip. » Drag them left or right to mark the beginning and

end of the part that you want to crop, copy, or trim.

» You can also select and apply video effects to a portion of a clip.

» You can use the crop markers to select video in a single clip or across several clips.

Clip Information» The Clip Info window appears when you

choose Show Info from the File menu. You can use the Clip Info window to: Change the name of the clip Find out how much disk space the clip takes up Find out the date and time the clip was captured See the duration of a clip

Clip Information

Clips Pane» When you first import video, your footage appears in

the Clips pane. » You can select and play clips in the Clips pane to

initially review the footage you have. » You can easily delete unwanted clips by dragging

clips to the iMovie Trash or selecting them and pressing Delete.

» You can also split clips and do initial trimming and cropping of footage in the Clips pane to prepare the footage for finer editing later in the clip viewer or timeline viewer.

» You can rename clips and rearrange them to organize them as you plan your project.

Clips Pane» Drag clips from the Clips pane to the clip

viewer to add them to your movie. » You can also Option-drag a clip from the Clips

pane to copy the clip into your movie, leaving the original still available in the Clips pane.

» You can remove clips from your movie by dragging them from the clip viewer back to the Clips pane or into the iMovie Trash.

» You can also drag clips to your desktop for use in other applications or to copy them into another iMovie HD project.

Clips Pane

Direct Trimming» You can use direct trimming in the timeline

viewer to trim audio and video clips quickly and with fewer steps.

» When you place the pointer near one end of the clip and drag toward the center, you trim the clip with one move.

» The trimmed video is still present, but hidden, so you can drag the end of the clip in and out until you have it exactly as you want.

» The trimmed part of the clip is preserved.

Direct Trimming» You can also trim adjacent clips in a similar way. » If you place the pointer near the center of the

clip, you can drag the clip without trimming any of it. As you drag toward an adjacent clip, all the adjoining

clips move (or "ripple") along with it. But, if you hold down the Command key as you drag,

you overwrite the adjacent clip with the clip you're moving.

In this way, you can extend or move a clip and remove adjoining footage in the same move.

Getting Started

iMovie» When you open iMovie HD, three

options appear: Create a new project Open an existing project Create a Magic iMovie

Starting a New Project» In most cases, when you start a new project,

you don't need to choose a video format. » iMovie HD can automatically detect whether

you're importing footage from a standard definition (DV), high definition (HDV), or Apple iSight camera.
