Task 2 - See examples
a. These are some of the web tools that can be used for storytelling purposes.
Have a look at some examples we´ve selected.
Ask yourself: Which ones did you like the most? What did you like about it? Which tools would you like to try out?
Task 3 - Explore
a. First, let´s explore as many tools as we can before choosing one for our final project this week. All the tools mentioned above are free, so sign up and have a look at how the tool works. If you have any problems working with the tools, ask for support at our HelpDesk and we´ll do our best to help you out.
Task 4 - Create your story
a. After exploring the suggested tools, let´s get to work by creating our own stories. Choose a tool you´ve enjoyed and create a story using your imagination or our suggested topic "A Day in the Life of a learner."
b. It would be a good idea to create a story board for your story (see a sample story board here http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/reporting/starttofinish/storyboarding/ and include timeline, text or voice added to each slide, video.
Plugin error: That plugin is not available.
Task 4 - Share your story and Leave comments to other participants' stories
As soo as you are done exploring the tools for storytelling and create your own, feel free to share it with us on the Ning forum (you can embed it or just post the link). It would be great a idea for each participant to watch at least three stories done by others and leave a short comment. We are looking forward to your great stories! Good luck!
