Digital+Storytelling

[]

====What a fun project to create from a personal experience I had during a trip to Mexico. I learned how to incorporate several aspects of how to create a slideshow showing a diverse cultural living style in a country that is far different from the USA. Not only did I use personal pictures, but I was able to record my findings to a background of music from the culture, add titles and emphasize parts of the pictures that were important to focus on. Due to the complexity of the project, it would not be appropriate for younger students but middle and high school age students would be able to use this for capstone projects, presentations and slideshows. The slideshow file was large so a link is created so you can go to a site that presents the storytelling.====

====I would use this to create my own personal story to tell to younger children. They could model this on paper or we could create an original story together if it was put on Smartboard. If you had the time it would be fun to create a library of stories to share at a given appropriate time during language arts or recreational reading times. I know high school students need to create a capstone project to present before a panel of judges just before they graduate and this would be the perfect way to showcase the subject they choose. There are many possibilities to present material in an interesting and stimulating way with this technology.====
