Description
As a GILT513 course assignment, I wrote a script and created a digital story using Camtasia. The video tells the story of my appearance on the Al Alberts show. The screencast was posted to the GILT513 YouTube channel and was evaluated by my peers.
Reflection
The digital story assignment for GILT 513 is my favorite project in graduate school. With this project, I was able to write creatively and tell a personal story in an interesting and fun way. I used Camtasia to create and edit the video. I used personal photos, video clips and music to tell a digital story that I am proud of. I learned that Camtasia is a great tool and that telling digital stories are an effective way to deliver learning.
