This looks like it is going to be a lot of fun and a lot of work! As you know, I do therapeutic horseback riding with my special needs students twice a year for five or six sessions each. We do one session in the fall between the end of September and the beginning of November, and then another session in the spring that usually begins after our spring break. This year it will start in mid April and go through most of May.
A number of years ago, Brooksie Way Minigrants came out and did a video on our program and it got quite a bit of press through the marketing of Brooks L. Patterson, Oakland County Commissioner. There is a lot to therapeutic riding and people are always asking about the benefits and reasoning behind why I do this with my children. Therefore, I decided to put together my own digital storytelling to put all the pieces in one place.

I put together my digital storytelling video using Animoto. Pictures that were not taken by me came off of Dreamstime. I ended up with 2:40 seconds of video. OK, no words and I did find that the number of letters per caption was limited so I had to work around that as well. But I think it came out pretty well!
I have put it out to my parents on my Face of the Classroom and I have emailed it to a couple of friends for comments. My husband did watch it and said it was really good, always smart to start with a biased opinion! We will see!!!!
