1. What? - I had some difficulty managing the new skills I would need to accomplish this task. There were also some technical difficulties that I do not see as always being present. Considering that these my frustrations should diminish over time I think I would enjoy making these more overtime. Once the hurdles were surmounted the time invested was minimal compared to the value of the project. If I choose non copyrighted materials, I could use the stories indefinitely. I will try making more of these. It will be a good way of getting my students engaged in viewing art as I model proper interaction with new, more surprising types of art.
2. So What? - I have reservations about technology that I need to overcome. If I can invest the time to overcome the learning curve involved I will find and use ever evolving tools that will enhance my teaching practice. I was not completely satisfied with the pixilation of my images due to the several generations of copying and pasting they underwent to go from Picasa Web to Photo Story. I plan to revise my work later as I really would wish to show this video to students.
3. Now What? - I really want to expose my students to new forms of art. These are often interactive. Having a video where I talk myself through the images and recreate the experience may be the best way I can replicate it for them.
I also want student to develop their own sense of voice. To do this it it good to hear others express their theories and hear them critique work.
One thing I could do I ask permission from friends whose shows I attend and establish a tradition of creating walking tours of exhibits. In that way I could build a catalogue of crystallized memories and experiences to share with students.
