Week 5 PLE Post
Google Earth is a crowd pleaser at my house. The simple features of zooming in and out, swiveling and rotating, and changing views from flat to aerial entertain both myself and my 5-year old daughter. My son enjoys some of the more complex features like actually flying to a location. Together we have enjoyed Las Vegas where we use to live, Australia where Mom was a missionary, Philadelphia where Dad was a missionary, and Paris where we some day want to go.
I think in a classroom setting it would open the world for children. Discovery is a seed when nurtured, can grow into beauty one never knew existed.

Review of storyboards
The storyboards that I visited and made comments on were: Andrea Smith, Karly Allen, Becca Blair, Haley VandeMerwe, and Anne Yamashita. I enjoyed seeing how out of one class assignment there could be so many different ideas. I think one of the greatest challenges is coming up with an idea. I think once an idea is found everything begins to fall into place. Lots of practice in making digital stories would need to occur in order to use the skill regularly, otherwise its just too stressful.

Week 4 PLE post
So far my son who is 8 years old has been the recipient of all my new found technology knowledge. He is loving (mostly loving, except when I hog the computer) that his mother is getting up to speed on the computer world. I have shown him my blog and wiki both of which he has security concerns over others having access to this information (cute huh). Also, the movie making digital stories have really excited him and after Mom finishes her assignment for class he wants to make one. Sharing this information with him is most rewarding not to mention very impresive how quickly he picks it all up.
