The following link provides the "storyboard" from which our project will be created. This includes the titles, images, links, and script. We have a solid layout, now I just have to put it all together with narration! Enjoy a sneak peek at our Professional Development Topic: Using www.starfall.com, a technology resource in order to enhance literacy in students. I absolutely love this site and have witnessed what this wonderful resource can do for student's reading AND writing skills, both in and out of the classroom.
Our group chose to create our Storyboard on Google Presentation so that we could all contribute equally and fairly to the design of our "flipped presentation." We chose to use Jing in order to gather screenshots to incorporate into the Google Presentation. The Jing shots came from the site www.starfall.com in order to show viewers how to access it and what the different features are, such as phonics, reading stories, and watching video clips. We also incorporated text at the bottom of each slide in order to show what the narration might be (we can tweak things as we go). I am pleased with the way the Google Presentation came together as a way to represent our storyboard. It is like a "draft" of our final product being the flipped presentation. We have agreed that the following technology tools will be used for our presentation and have divided up responsibilites as follows:
Cynthia: Slides using Jing
Kim: Slides using Jing
Melissa: Narration using an audio tool
Lindsay: Editing (putting everything together; slides with narration and organizing information and timing so that it all flows and makes sense). I will be putting the entire presentation together using iMovie. Wish me luck!
It makes perfect sense to use a storyboard format for this project in order to plan accordingly. I also am thankful that we agreed on Google Presentation to put our ideas together and add to one another's slides. I am comfortable with this program and recommended it to our group so that all can contribute. I especially like the fact that you can use the "comment" feature on the right hand side and have a conversation and ask questions, make suggestions, address any concerns, etc. I would definitely use this Google Presentation format in the classroom in order for my students to "draft" images/scripts in a group setting and collaborate with one another before beginning the actual project. It is a great way to share and also revise your thinking before doing the real thing! We all know that practice makes perfect...
I look forward sharing the "flipped presentation" with my colleagues and teaching them about Starfall in a creative and interactive way.
