Digital Storytelling


The Digital Story examples were very helpful especially because I have never created one of my own before.  It was great to be able to see the many ways that it could be put together, and really each of them had something brought something different to the table.  Many of the examples were done using Photo Story3 and the feedback from each blog I visited helped me to decided that this was also the program I wanted to explore with creating my first digital story.

I really enjoyed how each video transitioned so smoothly.  I have to admit I am a little nervous about creating one because I have never put my voice to anything!  I liked Rubi's  story because it showed her actions while the video was taking place, and in Megan's story she talked about herself and her hobbies but it was more like a slide show with different transitions going along with her voice.  Both versions are very cool, and I really enjoyed them both.  I think Photo Story will be a great place for me to get started with it being my first time creating something like this.  Have any of you used Photo Story3 before?  Do you know of any challenges I may run into trying to get my project going?

  1. Andrea,

    Thanks for sharing those examples. Megan's story gave me some ideas for what I might do for my digital story. I think I am also going to use Photo Story 3. I've never used it before either. It should be a fun experience!

  3. I have reviewed tutorials on both PhotoStory and Moivemaker. I agree with the other two posts Photostory seems to be the easier program to follow. If you go to You Tube you can view lots of tutorials. I really like how Photostory walks you through each step of the process while you are creating your video. I did a short digital story test on Moivemaker and I did not like the set up. Good luck!

  4. I'm with you - I'm definitely anxious to narrate this with my voice! Especially since I'm sure we will be sharing them on our blogs, yikes.

    I am also planning to use Photo Story 3. It seems like most people find it pretty user-friendly.
