A Digital Story: Lassie ! :)

Hellooo everyone ! :)

You know, we have a project in our Technology and Material Design course everyweek. And this week, we created a digital story with my dear friend Özgenur.

Before you watch our digital story video, I want to tell you something about digital storytelling and the process of our digital storytelling adventure :)

What is Digital Storytelling?

    Digital storytelling is a combination of text, voice narration, music, sound effects, images and graphics to create a fictional or non-fictional multimedia narration.

The process of digital storytelling provides a high-quality learning experience because it can help for the improvement in language skills of the students. 

They write a story by using their creativeness and imagination world. Then they narrate the story with the help of voice recorder. And later, they can draw the pictures. If you provide the storyboard for your students as a teacher, the drawing process will be easier. Also, there so many animation websites or tools for creating  a digital story. You should remind them that they must choose a music and add effects.
After all of these steps, they can put the text, narration, visual items and music together with transitions. They'll use an animation program or a software like movie maker for the last step. 

Our Digital Storytelling Process

We used an  animation website named GoAnimate. After writing our story, we started to choose our visual items GoAnimate. At the same time, we recorded our voices and choose a music. We put them together but after all of these, we noticed that downloading the video for free or share it on youtube is not possible. So, we had to use a program to record our video. Then we opened recorded video with Movie Maker, add the voice records and music on it. 

In consequently, we had some difficulties but we enjoyed on this task. :)

Let's watch our digital story ! :)
