No Narration, Minimal Text 
(with images, no video)
Both of these tell a story. How effective they are is somewhat subjective. The point is that you need to find your own voice and by comparing and contrasting the work of others you begin to define your own style and give it form.

Great Resources

What do students need to be learning that they're not?
They need to understand a new language of expression. The way we are educating is based on nineteenth-century ideas and methods. Here we are, entering the twenty-first century, and you look at our schools and ask, 'Why are we doing things in this ancient way?' Our system of education is locked in a time capsule. You want to say to the people in charge, 'You're not using today's tools! Wake up!

Digital media content and tools provide educators and students with tremendous opportunities to be media creators as well as media consumers. How do you help your students understand the ethics and etiquette of this landscape? How savvy are you about integrating media production projects into your work with students? We've gathered a range of resources and references on these topics and more to help you foster digital media literacy in your classroom.

Because it is so very powerful when we get it right...
