WOW!!!

I just realized how much fun it is to create projects with pictures! It is so simple to create a digital photo story and I definitely plan on utilizing this in the future! Creating my learning experience was so much fun and I love my end result! I shares some really great memories of what I did last summer and reminds me of the new friends I met from Lithuania, Poland, Russia, and America! haha I really enjoyed creating this final project!

Web Quest

Our web quest group was very diverse and we all are studying different fields of education: health, music, drama etc.... Therefore, we decided to chose a topic that was fun and easy. We created a web quest that studies the voyage of Christopher Columbus in which students map the course of the voyage, learn information concerning his ships, and build a ship.
I was responsible for the introduction, finding useful images and also the CSO's.

Photo Story

My photo story is about alcohol abuse and drunk driving. Since I am going to teach highschool health, this would be a great video to use when teaching about drug and alcohol abuse. I found these pictures on the web and downloaded photo story3 to complete my project. I loved using photo story3 because it was extremely easy and the end result was fantastic!

Learning Experience

For my learning experience, I used pictures I found of Corolla, North Carolina, or better known as OBX. I dowloaded photo story 3 to complete this project. This is where my brother has lived for the past 5 years and I lived last summer. I have beautiful pictures of the area in which I lived in, and also pictures of the two places I worked at: The Currituck Country Club, and Sundogs Sports Bar & Grill. This was such a wonderful experince and Im glad to share these pictures and experiences I had through my photo story. Although I was unable to share many personal photos because I did not take very many, I was able to find numerous amounts of pictures from the area in which I lived and worked. Hope you Enjoy!
