In my story you will see many aspects of why it is important to stay in school. It is very important to stay in school for your future, money, friends, and learn social skills that you need in life. The pictures and songs i put in my digital story will help get my point across to students on why school is so important. I think the movie will be funny and yet people can learn something from it while watching it.

School is a very important part of a child's life and everyone has to go through it. Whether you feel like going or not in the end, its worth it. When you get older and graduate from college, you have to be independent and live your life on your own. Going to school will help you accomplish many goals in your life because going to school helps you get a job and figure out what you want to do with your life. Some people go to school knowing exactly what they want to accomplish and others go to school to try and figure out what they want to be. Staying in school is important for many aspects in your life. Staying in school will help you get a job, money and support you and your family in your future. Staying in school is also important to learn how to socialize with other people which is a very important quality in life. Learning how to respect and talk to your elders and learning how to make friends are things you accomplish while going to school. Staying in school, whether you like it or not is very important for you in your future even if you don't know what your future looks like yet.

Digitales evaluation graduate portfolio

After looking and evaluating 3 digitales video storys, i compared one of them that i best felt would fit with the graduate portfolio. The digitales story that i compared to the graduate portfolio is called magical moments. Compared to the graduate portfolio magically moments is "Ready for college". In magical moments the women tells her story about how ever since she was a little girl she wanted to be a teacher. She went to school and college and got her teaching diploma. After only a few months of her first teaching job she was quitting but when her young students found out they all individually wrote her a letter asking her to stay. She knew that those kids needed her to stay so she stayed at her teaching job and began to fall in love with teaching all over again. The woman was now understanding and developing new knowledge about the world. She also learned how to manage her own learning by identifying options, evaulating opportunities and organizing educational expeirences that helped her work and live in global society; these xamples connect her back to the graduate portfolio.
