Digital Storytelling
Welcome to the Digital Storytelling session. In this session you will learn the following:
- What ‘digital storytelling’ is and what the benefits are of using it in the classroom
- How to use Photostory 3
- How to use Voicethread
Digital storytelling can be described as ‘a form of short narrative, usually a personal narrative told in the first person, presented as a short movie for display on a television or computer monitor or projected onto a screen’.
We will look at how students can create digital narratives using two alternative tools – both free – Microsoft Photostory 3 (free download from Microsoft) and Voicethread – a web based tool.
