Every photo tells a story

In session 4, tools for creating vidoes have been covered.  I have created a video clip using some photos taken in the Apple Race, an yearly event of my school, using Photo Story 3.

Photo Story is a piece of very easy to use freeware.  It can help use to create slideshows using our digital photos. Adding stunning special effects, soundtracks, and our own voice narration to ur photo stories are made easy.  Details of Photo Story 3 is available here.

What r kids doing with digital technology

Marc Prensky (2005) sees today's kids as "Digital Natives" who get tons of digital technology skills that they could express themselves in a different way from previous generation of "Digital Immigrants", seems he is not the only one who recognize the new trend that kids are creating another kind of new culture to learn and to express with the help of digital technology.

Lawrence "Larry" Lessig (born June 3, 1961) is an American academic and political activist. He is best known as a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on copyright, trademark, and radio frequency spectrum, particularly in technology applications.

The TED talk by him I found is quite interesting and inspiring, and to some extent, related to modern day's learning through technology.
