Digital Slide with Slideroll


Exploring the West View Photo Slideshow


Make a Free Flash Slideshow

Slideroll, Animoto, and Stupeflix can all be used to create a digital story.  I used Slideroll as an example of a product that these tools produce.  The story gives a quick preview to some remarkable sights of the west coast that I’ve visited.  While this is a very simple story, one could use much more creativity to make a story.  This could be a great tool in the classroom, especially for ESL classes.  A teacher could utilize this to illustrate specific ideas, and present information and an interesting and engaging manner.  Of course, students could also use this to make their own creative stories relating to a lesson topic.

Digital Storytelling (Part II)

 

My digital storybook is an explanation about slacklining.  Using Bookr to create a digital storybook is extremely easy and allows for all levels of creativity.  Although my story is simplistic, it demonstrates the possibilities of this internet tool.  This could be very successful in the classroom.  Students could create stories on their topic of choice, or relate it to a current unit to demonstrate comprehension.  I would recommend this tool to all teachers.
