Scaffolding Storytelling Skills for Students
Use Editable videos from Discovery Education, remove the audio, and have students record their own voiceover narration.
Use the DE Advanced Search to filter for Editable videos and video segments.
Select a video segment.
Select your download type - QuickTime for Apple and Windows Media for PC.
Select the Download icon.
You can use Windows Movie Maker on a PC to remove audio from editable DE videos and record your own narration or mute the video’s audio and layer your narration.
You can use iMovie on a Mac to remove audio from editable DE videos and record your own narration.
Either detach the video from its audio layer by right-clicking on it in the storyboard and delete it or mute the video’s audio before recording your own voiceover.
