Digital+Storytelling

= = For this digital story telling project I decided to write about my adventure to Naples, Italy. I was a wonderful and adventurous trip that I will never forget. We started out our trip with a crazy taxi driver who I swore was going to cause an accident due to his driving. We ended our trip on safe and sound in the ancient city of Pompeii.

The new technology I decided to learn on my one was Voice Thread. This was my default program. I started out using the Vuvox program but when it was time for me to upload the audio I could not work it. I decided to give Voice Thread a try and it worked out great. I was able to add audio to each picture individually and change the amount of time each picture was shown on the screen. This website also enabled me to forward my digital storytelling project to anyone who was in my e-mail address book. This would be helpful if it were a group project and you wanted to easily send everyone and individual copy of your project. This program was very user friendly. It had a video that explained step by step what need to be done to create a digital story. It showed the steps to uploading picture and even how to enable the plug in headset and microphone. My favorite part of this program and the part I found most helpful was that it showed how to attach audio to each picture. I was able to go to the picture I wanted to add audio to and simply press a button and it allowed me to record. The downfall to this website is that it did not make embedding and uploading to other websites very easy. I had trouble trying to get the digital story on to youtube so that I could upload it to the wiki. Because of this I had to get the embed code from the website and just embed it on my page.
