 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.
