I just watched Heidiann Heiniger's digital storytelling project and thought that it was a very fun and cute story about Halloween. I liked that she did her story about Halloween since it is now October. The music in the background also fit with the story very well. I thought it was great! I also watched Mallory Gibbons digial storytelling project, and I thought it was very good. The story "I don't know what to do today" was very cute. I liked that she had the funny and fitting music in the background of her story. She did a great job. The third digital storytelling project I watched was Jeff Freeman's. His video was very informational about Erosion, and I thought that it was a great way to introduce a new topic. The facts about erosion caused by glaciers was very interesting and put together very well. I liked all the projects I viewed, they were well done!
I would be able to adapt a digital storytelling project to the first grade by having students write one of their own poems and have them take pictures or have pictures taken of things that would work well for their poem. Then teaching students how to make their own digital storytelling project and with the help of a teacher, they would be able to share with others their written poem in a more creative and technological way.

Learning how to do a digital storyboard was very interesting and surprisingly fun to do! We will be using images from the internet and each take turns in reading the poem for our digital story next week. We learned how to cite all the media we will use and posted the images on our digital storyboard. It will be a fun use of technology to make a digital story from the poem and images we have found.
