Project #7: Digital Story Telling

Annotation

For this project I used Photostory3 to create my own digital story.  First, I opened Photostory3 and clicked “begin a new story.”  Then I imported my own pictures.  After my pictures were all in the program I began to edit each individual image and make comments about them.  After all of my comments were completed I added music to the pictures.  All of my pictures were from my trip to California, so I wanted to choose the song “Hotel California,” by the Eagles. I didn't have the song on a CD and I couldn't download it.  Instead I just chose a song that was already on the computer.  I saved my photo story as a wmv, rather than a wp3, because I didn’t want the photo story to be too big. Next, I created a link to the photo story on a webpage in the NvU program and then published by page. 

        This project is extremely beneficial because it is a fun task where students can create their own project based on what they are learning in the classroom.  Students will not only enjoy creating digital stories, but will benefit from sharing them with their classmates.  I can already think of numerous ways that I would want to use this program in the classroom. I might use this if I take pictures from an assembly, field trip, award ceremony, or classroom projects.
