Q4 Finalize It!: Curate Media

FOUR THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN SELECTING MEDIA

• Media should be chosen purposefully to enhance your topic and message (avoid extra images you don't need if they don't add significantly to the story).
• Media used must adhere to copyright laws (save the filename, URL to the source and author).
• Save your work often, you may find it helpful to create a file folder to save them into.
• Privacy is important. If you think you might want to share your video with a global audience later, you should not include an image of yourself or your full name. 

Check with your teacher about which and how many media elements need to be included in your digital story such as text, images, photos, audio (narration), sounds, music, video clips, animation and interactive elements.

STEPS

1. Check with your teacher to decide how much time will be available to curate your media.
2. Open your storyboard (created in Quest 3) in a new window.
3. Review each part of your storyboard and begin locating and identifying specific media elements for each part, saving a link to the resource, or directly inserting an image or photo.
   If you are already working with a:
   • Canva storyboard, you will have a rich set of media resources to add to it
   • Google slide deck as your storyboard, you will have the resources from the Insert menu to select from as well as any you add or link to it.
   • PowerPoint slideshow as your storyboard, you will have resources from the Insert menu to select from as well as any you add or link to it.
