In this
workshop we had the opportunity to look into Media Arts. The workshop was taken
by Kirsty McGeoch and it was on making our own digital story telling using
iMovie. This workshop consisted of each person in the class to bring a significant
photo that they held dear. With this photo we needed to do several steps before
making the digital story telling. We first had to take a photo of the image by itself,
then a photo of the image and our hands and lastly the image with ourselves in
it. Using the images and editing it we had to write a script about who was in the image, where the
image was taken and why this image was of significance to me. We did a voiceover of the images with our written script. Media Arts used
in the classroom is beneficial for students in this day and age due to fast
growing technology. It is important to harness the potential that Media Arts
bring and use it to help with students’ studies and investigative learning
(Gibson & Ewing, 2011, p. 94). This strategy within the classroom would
help students to understand that creating a digital story is quite easy to use.
Any students can create one and make it personalised.
