This is my personal narrative created with Reel Director.**Updated**
What's this all about?
I had the students take their personal narratives to the next level. This is an example I made.
The process:
They wrote their narratives following the writing process. Then they typed the entire thing on their iPod using iFiles, which they were able to transfer easily to the computer. From there, the narrative took two forms; first it went into Pages to be printed as a "regular" story. Then, it went into ComicLife.
As part of the ComicLife portion, student brought in images related to their narrative. The images were used as part of the ComicLife project to help tell the story. Next, they exported the ComicLife project as a series of images and transferred back to the computer via iFiles. Now they were able to use Reel Director to create the final project.
Since the creation of this project, things have changed and improved on the iPod. This, of course, is the way of technology. The capabilities of this little device keeps getting better. If I were to do this project again, it could be all done on the iPod using Strip Design (a ComicLife-like iPod app) and SonicPics (a better alternative to ReelDirector).
