JoLynn's+digital+storytelling+project

This is my digital storytelling project. I am a nanny for four little boys and three of them wanted to go outside and make a pyramid out of themselves. They tried different ways of making it work out for them until they finally figured it out and they were very happy to do so. They had a lot of fun doing this.

This is their story:

I learned a lot of new skills because it was the first time that I had the opportunity to work with this program. I had never done a digital storytelling project before and it was very fun to figure out how to make one. I chose to use Photostory 3 to make my project. I had never used this program before in fact, I had never even heard of it. It was fun to use and it was easy too. I uploaded my pictures to the program and put them in the order of my project as my inspiration map shows. I edited the pictures and cropped them to my choice. Then I put the fading feature onto them so that it goes along with my story. I put narration to each of the slides as on my inspiration map as well. After I finished that I decided to put background music to my slideshow. I uploaded my project onto YouTube so that it can be viewed in Mac or Windows. I also embedded my story into my Wikispace and the product is above. I like to learn new skills using technology. After we get used to learning new skills on our own, we are likely to do it more often. This will help me in my classroom a lot as I want to be able to have the best technology resources available for my students. I want to teach them how important it is to learn new skills as well and teach them that they can do it on their own too. Unfortunately, technology has issues as well and I could not figure out how to put empty slides into this program for a title page or a reference page.
