This chapter had a lot of really great information for building digital stories. I can see how the how-to's could be very helpful to someone bringing videos into their classroom. There was also, however, a lot of really helpful structuring. By delineating the process, Ohler creates a framework that can help an editor/director create a cleaner, truer piece.
This actually happened with me when we were storyboarding our videos for next week. I started to skip steps, but ended up with a more powerful and personal piece when I was (reluctantly) compelled to follow the process.
I also found the idea of deputizing students a helpful one to be reminded of, although I made a regular habit of that when I was in the classroom. Kids love to help. And the also like being a little smarter than you. And why wouldn't they?
