InfoTech 9 May 25, Digital Storytelling Unit

Stories are important. On the following list you will find 8 free digital storytelling tools websites, which will help you use technology to tell a story while being highly creative and having fun.

This next unit will focus on story telling and you can tell a story anyway you like:  hockey or basketball, about your favourite video game, your friends, your horse or some creative story you have in your head.  Whatever it is you like to do you can put together a story using these fun tools.  You will begin with Storybird. Last class a few of you got started.  Create and account and not student. You can make a poem or write a story.  Amaya has finished hers and Findley is close.  If you are having trouble - ask them for help. I will list the others after this. You will try four  including storybird.  Create a link on your Weebly to your storybird story.

BE CREATIVE! ENJOY THE PROCESS.

“Digital Storytelling is a fantastic way to engage anyone who has ever wanted to be the next Ken Burns or Steven Spielberg. There are many different definitions of "digital storytelling," but in general, all of them revolve around the idea of combining the longstanding art of telling stories with any of a variety of available multimedia tools, including graphics, audio, video animation, and Web publishing.”
