Week 8 Thing 20

Digital storytelling is so much easier to create with animoto.com than photostories.  Nowadays they can be shared among teachers without the fear of photographs not being "zipped" properly.  One of the ways I used digital storytelling in my class was to create science presentations.  I uploaded pictures from Pics4learning and used my own voice to share key concepts with my class.  It was amusing to see how entraced my students were with hearing my voice on the audio.  A perk was that the students could view it over and over as a center which they actually requested.  Absent students were able to view the lesson they missed at their convenience. 

To get started, I would recommend trying Voicethread.com


Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
