Creating a digital story through photostory was an activity that I will apply in my classroom. It was a chance for me to explore my own thoughts. I did not have to depend on photos. I was able to pull graphics from a variety of sources. I could have included phots, videos, clip art, drawings, music and many other types of media. This was an activity that can have many applications throughout the school year. I often use Animoto for this type of activity, but I used photostory for this assignment since it called for a new approach. I really enjoyed the assignment. The planning and the assignment provided a new tool for my classroom.

Public Service Announcements and Final Week Information
Our discussion board for week five provided some much needed clarification on grades and assignments. Several assignments were removed grom the grade book. Discussion boards for week 4 and 5 were automatically given 100s, and due to a technical error, our final exam reflection piece was removed. This helped to clear up questions that I had about the assignments. The remaining assignments were discussed in detail.
The blog posts were discussed, and what was expected, and where they were to be posted. This helped to clear up a difficulty for me because I was unsure of what was expected for this assignment.
The public service announcement was also discussed in detail. Collaboration and planning is the key to this assignment. Documentation of these elements, as well as the actual production piece need to be posted in several locations and documented. A creative Commons license needes to be added to our work.
Other important information was discussed. This included principal certification, internship and GRE requirements, and grants and funding for classes. This web-conference was a useful tool in understanding the class material and what is expected. I appreciated this web-conference much more than I did for week 2.
