Learning Log

Today in class me and my partner got together and we discussed our Digital Story. We were going along the lines of the geographic and cultural differences of the New England colonies, but that topic was feeling a little dry. So we decided to go with the Salem Witch Trials. We decided to go with this topic because it gave us some emotion to put into our digital story. We also explored a little with a program used to record sound. A way that I could use this in my own classroom, is that I could have the students introduce one another through this program. So they could gather some information and then record themselves introducing another person. This would get the students out of their comfort zones ans liven things up a bit.
