Digital Story Examples

There are oodles of digital stories out there to view and get ideas to create your own digital story. Here are some examples, starting with the first one I made for a class workshop on PhotoStory.

Halloween 2007

I also converted the wmv file to an mov file, using zamzar.com and then uploaded it to my account on YouTube. Here is the embedded link for this video, which you can view within this wiki page:

This digital story was made using PhotoStory for an English 101 workshop. I really enjoyed making the digital story and coming up with the story itself. I found that the pictures created the story somewhat, although as I narrated each slide, I revised my original writing. I was thinking about what comes first . . . the story or the pictures, and I think it's a little bit of both. You might also have a story and then find pictures, either online or take them yourself, and then match the pictures to the story. Whatever you do, you will find that your digital story needs to be a good story. Digital stories are usually pretty short, about 3 to 5 minutes. Background music adds to their appeal, as well as a clear narration. Guaranteed that your students will have fun with this.
