I truly enjoy doing a digital story. The assignment that I chose is “I knew I was going to be an educator when…”. This activity was different because I had to use my cell phone to capture the pictures. As an educator I can see how cell phones can play an intrigue part in students’ learning. Taking pictures is one task but students can do research, take quizzes and create digital stories. I just hope that the school districts can see what most educators see. Also, they need someone that can work out the kinks and take the fear away from using cell phones in the class.
The rubric I chose was Movie Maker. I find it very long but it fit most of my criteria.
Story line – Story line has a clear beginning, middle and end. It is well developed
Point of view awareness of audience – Strong awareness of audience in design; explains clearly why they felt the words, audio and graphics chosen to fit the largest audience
Dramatic Question – Little or no attempt is made to pose a dramatic question or answer it.
Clarity of voice – voice quality fluctuates though out the presentation
Pacing Narrative – The pace (rhythm and voice punctuation) fits the story line and helps the audience really “get into” the story
Meaningful Audio Sound track – Music is distracting in appropriate or was not used
Quality of Image – An attempt was made to use images to create an atmosphere/tone but it needed more work. Image choice is logical.
Story Detail – The story seems to need more editing. It is noticeably too long or too short in more than one section.
Grammar and language usage – Grammar and usage were correct (for the dialect chosen) and contributed to clarity style and character development.
I would modify this rubric by deleting dramatic question, grammar and language usage because this type of assignment did not require questioning neither did it need subtitles running through the movie. If I had to follow this rubric I would have scored higher. According to this 10 category rubric I scored a 23/30
