My digital story is a guide to climbing Colorado's fourteen thousand foot high mountains. It is an itroductory guide with pictures of myself and my boyfriend on some of the 14ers we have climbed. This was a fun assigment and I think it turned out well. It was challenging to match the music and timing to the pictures, but it was exciting once the project was complete and everything came together. I would use this project to show students places or ideas we are learning about in geography. It would make a lecture more interesting than just using powerpoint. I also like the idea of students creating their own story, either individually or in cooperative learning. This is a great tool for students to not only learn more about what they are studying, but it allows them to use their creativity and make their own decisions on what they want to show the teacher and their peers.
