March 20- Digital Story Progress

For fields, I am teaching a math unit on customary units of measurements. I was trying to think of different ways I could use my digital story to help the students with learning, and I decided to use it as a sort of review. For one of my lessons, I was asked to do a short unit review that would help get the students ready for the unit test. I thought this digital story would be a fun thing to incorporate into my lesson.
My digital story is showing that we really do use math. It isn't just one time in class while learning it, but we see the math everyday in everything that we do. I wanted to make this real. So rather than going to the internet for pictures, I chose to take the majority of the pictures by myself. There are a few that I got online, but for the most part my pictures are of things that I see everyday that can be tied into customary units of measurement. Even for me, it helped me realize how often I truly rely on knowing customary units in my daily life.
I was able to find sound clips from Soundzabound that work well with each measurement. The sound clips are very different styles from one another, but they are all fun. Each measurement type has a different song just like it has different units involved. But they are all fun, just like each type of measurement can be seen in similar items.
