Digital Storytelling

Digital Storytelling is an excellent method for bringing course material alive with photos and music. In order to mix and render your voice over a soundtrack you need audacity, in order to save record sound as an MP3 relatively easily. You can also edit your recording as well! I will be using digital storytelling in the class in order to gain student interest and free up some time for me. My students can also learn to use these programs for presentations if they are too nervous to speak out load. I prefer using slide share because it allows you to upload a power-point that you can modify rather simply and upload a MP3 sound file you can time with your slides. But I have used some of the following for storytelling:

• Prezi
• goanimate.com
• Google Maps
• Comic Life
• Story bird
• Slide Share
• Windows Movie Maker
• Animoto
