=Digital Storytelling Project=

I created my digital storytelling project on an application called Photo Story. I used most of my own pictures to portray what happened. My story is about the time I got locked out of my apartment. It was a terrible problem, and turned into a long adventure. Watch my video to find out what happens!

While making this digital storytelling video I taught myself how to use the application Photo Story. I am not usually the best when it comes to technology, and that made it challenging to teach myself a new skill. However, once I got the program going and started my project it was fun to play around with the application and find out the different things you can do with it. I was able to insert text on the photos, and make the photos move how I wanted. Also, I realized that it was really easy to add audio with Photo Story. Once all of the audio was added I could manipulate each individual slides audio how I wanted. I would definitely use Photo Story again to create similar projects.

In order to learn Photo Story on my own I had to read a lot of tutorials about the different functions of Photo Story. That is one thing that was really helpful. Photo Story provided numerous categories that provided help on any issue you could possibly think of. Each category had multiple helpful hints to help people like me navigate the program. These tutorials were essential to helping me learn the program Photo Story.
