Digital Storytelling Project Pros and Cons

Windows Movie Maker

Pros:
It is easy to import material.
It is easy to organize order of material for movie.
It has fun effects and transitions.

Cons:
You have to import one thing at a time.
You have to apply effects one slide at a time.
The section to create credits doesn't allow very much room to completely cite material on one line.

Google Earth

What are some of the basic things I can do in the Google Earth program?
1.) I can navigate throughout the world using the mouse
2.) I can navigate using the arrows
3.) I can zoom in and out in order to see the amount of detail desired
4.) I can use the "fly to" tool to go to an exact address

How might I use Google Earth in my classroom?
I can use it as a visual aid to help the children feel more connected to the different places we are learning about.
