I wanted to try something new and not use a video or audio editing app but one where I could combine pictures and audio. In particular, I was looking for something easy enough for elementary students so that if I asked middle school or high school students to use it, none would find it challenging. I researched digital storytelling resources and picked one that I have not used. Turned out, it had very limited options unless you paid for it. The next few I found were not even still available. A couple others were only available on an iPad or iPhone and after being a week without my computer, I just did NOT feel up to going there (more on that in another blog). The two best resources were from August, 2018 in Practical EdTech and September, 2018 in Tech & Learning. I decided on the Adobe Spark app and spent a couple of hours planning and creating to make a 2 minute video. Considering I usually spend a few hours writing and editing a blog, it was about what I expected.
(First pic was made possible by a random person who regularly feeds the zebra doves and was inspired by my school’s production of Mary Poppins.)
Cheryl! This video is fantastic! You’ve timed everything well, what you’re saying flows, and you apprently have a great voice for recording (which makes me uber jealous).
“blush”. I have a “professional phone voice” that kept trying to come out (it makes you feel like you are on hold). 😛
I really appreciate your post, and the goal you have undertaken of only using your iphone. Thanks for the ideas!!
