More Digital Storytelling


Welcome to Buffalo

   How to make such a cool stuff? Check Animoto!
You can create your own digital story with it; add photos you take,type something to record your life. Animoto provides different styles of slide shows and music played with your story.
  When I  made my first story with it, I started with checking my photos. Memories of good time with parents and friends flooded into my mind; scenery that I had seen became clear and vivacious again. Then I started to think, one of the functions by making a digital story is memory recalling. Teachers could make good use of this function in many ways. Teachers could ask students to use what they learn to make a digital story and share with each other; when students watch their videos, they review the knowledge and consolidate what they have learned. Teachers could also ask student to keep a digital diary that records their life and make a presentation to share with others.
  Another thing about digital storytelling is activating students in the classroom. The students will be motivated to present, share ideas; with teachers' help, they will find using pictures to tell a story or present something interesting is so much fun. They will also learn considering what their audience would like in order to make a attractive work, which is very important in future writing.
