Actually I heard about blog for many years.  I used to think, Blog is just for teenager to write thier story of life like diary on web but I already changed my mind since I have to create and maintain my Blog in this course.

Moreover, I used blog in assignment3 and students really enjoy using Blog as a tools and it increase student's creativity and learn more from Blog.

Digital Storytelling : When students are using technology they are in an active role. Students are making choice about how to Generate, Obtain, Manipulate, or Display information. Digital Storytelling helps develop visual and multimedia literacy and provides students with a competitive and compelling voice. Moreover, it helps students write more effectively and allows students to learn and present in their individual learning style

Now I think everyone feel like to create your own Digital Storytelling. There are many programs that for creating Digital Storytelling by insert pictures,audio and video but for this week I would recommend you to use Moviemaker program which is bundled in Microsoft XP Operating Systems or use iMovie which is bundled in Mac OS X

Movie Maker

 

Windows Movie Maker 2 makes it easy for just about anyone to make movies on their computer. Just build your storyboard, edit your clips, add music, and you'll have your first movie ready to go!
