=Don't Take a Baby Turtle from the Riverside= For my digital storytelling project I chose to do a story from my early childhood. I wanted the video to relate to younger students, and I figured that the best way to accomplish that task was to tell a story that happened to me at that age. I hope you enjoy hearing about me and my father's blunders on the water!

New Learned Skill:
I have never used I movie prior to this class. In fact, for some time I had wished that I new how to construct videos. Beforehand I would use PowerPoint to make photo slide shows, and I thought this worked fine until I discovered the convenience of iMovie. I learned many things while constructing this project.

First I learned how to manipulate sound files. iMovie conveniently has a multitude of sound files provided by Apple inc. The music can add just the right amount of flair to you project. Once you add a sound file to your project you can manipulate is volume and shorten its length. That way you can have sound effects in addition to a narration without sound clashing.

I also learned how to make voice overs. Voice overs are especially nice to use because you can make them in segments. They are easy to delete and edit. I do not have to speak for the full video length. Instead I can record at 10-30 second increments. This makes it much more practical to use for story telling.
