For this assignment I decided to tell a story through OneTrueMedia. This story is one that carries a lot of memories with it, which I thought would be cool for students. In my classroom I could have the students create a story that informs us of who they are, something important that has happened in their life, or something that means a lot to them. This will give the teacher and students a better idea of who they are. I would like to do something like this in the beginning of the year so we can all be more familiar with each other. There are many ways a teacher can use this in their classrooms. Another idea I had was to have students tell a story about what they learned throughout the year. The students could pick a focus area and tell everything they learned about in the story. At the end of the year the teacher could use this as a form of assessment.
OneTrueMedia was super easy to use. Right when you enter the website you are already 'making' your story which means you dont have to go search for it or search for how to start making one. I really liked this about it because after using Photoshop I was confused on even how to start a slideshow. This website would make it easy for students to use in the classroom or even at home.
The only thing I disliked about OneTrueMedia was not having access to other features. Members have to pay for these features, so non-paying members only have access to the really simple tools. I wanted to put text at the bottom of each slide but I would have been charged for that. It would have made my story much better because I could have explained what was happening throughout. Im sure many sites charge their members to use special features, so as a teacher I would have to think about what to do. I definitely wouldnt make my students pay for this, so we would possibly have to look around at different tools.
