The Great Depression Told Digitially

Well here is a digital story my students created on the Great Depression. It traces the event from the "Roaring Twenties" to the crash and the start of the recovery. The soundtrack is rich with music from the era and the narration is excerpted from primary sources such as a radio news account of the stock market crash and President Franklin D. Roosevelt's First Inaugural address. One thing that certainly needs to be modified is the length of the story. We haven't figured out exactly how to edit/end the song and the final selection goes on and on with a blank screen so don't be afraid to watch it as the story does not last for nine full minutes.

Please let me know what you think.








Could you please complete the survey above after viewing the story? Thank you so much.

Playing With Google Docs

I just learned how to create a survey and receive responses using Google Documents. Above is my first effort. If you have a couple of minutes please answer the questions and hit respond. I'm always interested in learning about people's level of political participation.

Thanks!!
