I began to get a better handle on the course today. I had the opportunities to work with Audacity, Photo Story3, Ning, and Animoto, as well as Soundzaround through Badger Link. Of those applications, I liked Photostory and Animoto the most. They seemed most adaptable to incorporate still photos and video to tell a digital story. I also joined each of those software applications at my home computer with little or no problem. I was able to join Photo Story and Animoto as an educator and look forward to introducing my students to these sites and the possibilities they offer. I could see my 7th graders creating digital travel brochures for my geography course, digital biographies of famous composers for my music class, and digital book reports for my reading class. I currently have my students make weekly journal entries in a spiral notebook. Perhaps by uploading photos from their mobile devices, they could produce digital journal entries as well.

Animoto and Photo Story 3 are really easy to use and create really nice looking projects....perfect for students. Great ideas for using these digital storytelling tools!
