The students learned to upload their image and audio files onto the computer. By organizing the files in one folder, they systematically viewed and listened to each file, deleting those that were considered not useful and renaming files that they selected to save.
During two lab sessions the students were very grateful for the assistance of Gord Fong, from Media Services, as he taught them how to use Audacity, an audio editing software. The students learned to clip unwanted audio sections in their file and how to record new audio files. They also learned to how to upload their image and audio files to Movie Maker, the video creation software. At this point they used teamwork to sequence their images and audio files into a field trip recount or persuasive documentary. This post-production work took many days that required great perseverance on behalf of the students!
The students wrote scripts for new audio recordings to complement the voice recordings of on-site interviews. Their greatest challenge was to organize the separate pieces of information into one voice for the documentation of their learning. As they completed the sequence and digital videos, they each came to new understandings about the different communities that they visited. Their final products communicate their new found understandings.
