Digital Storytelling

Digital Storytelling is a way to tell or show a story through pictures, narration, and music. It can be a great way to tell someone a story. We are going to be learning about digital storytelling this week and by the end you will all be pro's! You will even have an oppurtunity to make your own story to share with the whole class.

I would like you to view the following websites to help you understand the ways we can use digital storytelling as well as understand some different aspects of it.

Digital Story Telling

Using Technology To Tell Stories

Digital Stories

Another important thing to learn about is something called Creative Commons. Creative Commons provides us with free tools that let us as creators mark our creative work. It guarantees that we get credit work for the work we did. It is important to understand because when we create something we automatically own the rights to it. Creative commons allows us to share our ideas with others as well as allow them to use our work. We can determine how and what others can do with our creation. Click here to find out more.

Watch the example video here and the digital story that I created that is in the post below titled The First Thanksgiving. After you watch those you can get started. You may pick any topic that we have been learning about in social studiest, science, or art. Have fun and be creative!
