Digital Storytelling
This first one, the voice thread was perhaps the easiest to tell a story about because I was able to verbally say what I wanted to. I enjoyed showing the pictures and the features that allowed me to interact with the actual picture (the drawing tool). In a classroom, or outside of the classroom, this is helpful so I can illustrate what I'm specifically referring to and it would also allow students to add their own comments and thoughts to what was shown and what I said.
This form of story telling was technically easy because I just had to import pictures and pick some music. I'm not sure if it necessarily gets the story that I want across to others. Like we discussed in class, I think this way is very visually appealing and will be a good way to introduce a new unit, but I would not use this to convey every day material. I would not let my students really use this either because they have no role in its true creation.
I really enjoyed this form of story telling. To me it's like PowerPoint, but there are stickers and perhaps more artistic elements than your basic PowerPoint slide show. Although I did not include descriptions, this form of story telling allows pictures, videos, music and text so one could get various different media incorporated into this project. I did not really get to explore the program too much, but did enjoy working on the few slides that I did.
