I created my final project about the 1980s. This is a unit I teach in my US History classes, and I thought this would be a good way to look at some of the major events of the decade. I chose to do pictures and narration with background music because I think it would be an interesting way to understand the information for students, and would be fun and interesting for parents to view as well.
The three pictures I edited in Picnik were slide # 1, 2 and 4. In the first picture (the title page) I added heart stickers and also brightened the coloring of the image. The second picture was of the US hockey team, and to that I added several stickers (#1 hand, heart, pom pon and a little green guy). The last picture I edited was the MTV image. I sharpened the image and added heart stickers, music notes, and a sticker that said "new."
I was nervous about uploading my video to YouTube because I had never done it. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it actually was! I just created an account, linked it to my Google account and clicked. :) I really feel like this was a great learning experience for me and I know I will be able to use this is my classroom. I am often intimidated by technology and doing things I have never done, but this assignment (and other assignments throughout the course) have shown me that I can do these things and can use them to really enhance my teaching!
