 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. Don't worry if you get lost in the multitude of tools: you can find tutorials on how to use each of them on YouTube or on their home page, for example:

 

a) How to use VoiceThread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BULUq4LS10w 

b) How to use VuVox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwzr-JWBq0Q&feature=related

c) Capzles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBv2UwbKG6E 

 

If you have any problems working with any of 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 to help you organize your story

 

(What is a storyboard? Find out here:
