Task 2: Digital storytelling

Digital story telling is a good way to articulate your project. Also, you can engage your students using this approach. For this first task, you will learn how to develop a digital story using a number of approaches. the first one is using PhotoStory 3.

Photostory 3 is a package which can download free from the internet and will run on most school systems and is easy to install. It has already been installed on the machines you are working on.

Lets get started:

1. Go to the internet and download at least 10 images which reflect your project. For images you can go Google or any other search engine. Just make sure that to get medium size images to get a good quality end-product

2. Create a photostory. There are many tutorials which help you to get started. Try the links below and do not be afraid to experiment!


3. Now create a powerpoint slide and insert that into your story

4. Finally, add music, text, transitions, effectsetc to complete your master piece

5. Now that you have completed your story, you might want to share with colleagues. Sign up for a free google account. Upload your video and then share this with the rest of the world. Give it a go. You can also embed any video created in Photostory into a blog as done below.
