EDTECH 513: Digital Storytelling - Augustus Caesar

The creation of my digital story was one of my favorite projects so far.  I think this would integrate well into the middle school classroom and allow students to easily create a short project.  I created a digital story about Augustus Caesar.  I wanted to create a video I could use in my middle school history class.  It gives a brief history of his family connections, successes and rise to emperor.  I used the personalization principle in the tone and brief summary of information.  Even though it was a historical story, I made sure to make the language age appropriate since I will be presenting 12-13 year old students.

I used Adobe Spark, which I downloaded on my iPad.  It was easy to use and I liked that it had a library of photos and icons that I could use.  There was an option to upload your own images if there was something that fit the story better, like a personal photo.  It also gave automatic credit at the end of the story to the sources.  This product was easy to use and I am looking forward to integrating it into my classroom for presentations.
