Basic Criteria to make Digital Story Telling


You have created a digital story by combining more than one type of media in a Web 2.0 tool

Yes I have to create more than one digital photo/video editing tools, to shrink the size of video

and to beautify the pictures with brightness and contrast.


Your story should be a good example of how digital storytelling can be used for educational

purposes

Digital Story Telling could be very informative for educational and learning perspectives.

Specially when a teacher needs to demonstrate the students about educational and historical

informative visits. Teacher can teach and guide his students about the modern tools to present the

and share with his experience, adventures etc.

Moreover, feedback from the students and trigger them to create their own plans to follow the same

patterns of story telling using digital tools.
Students can make blogs/video clips on youtube or any other photo/video sharing portal to share

their learning experiences among other friends and students for improvements and comments


Your blog contains one or more blog posts in which you describe
the basic principles of digital storytelling

According to me,it's good idea to share things with the students.
In pedagogical purpose, students would be encourged to use modern digital tools. For example, I have been teaching students of class BS(Hons)-Chemisty, I gave a scenario to design a blog on the name of their program name = "BS(Hons)-Chemistry" and couple of students made blogs to share all the class activities, problems, issues and ideas with other students and teachers. It was almost three years ago and I forgot the name of the blog. :)




your story idea

My story idea is to share my travel experience from Stockholm-Helsinki through VikingLine Cruise.
Basic purpose was to give basic information for new commers and travel geekers before they plan a travel and it could be a good idea when they set out for journey.


media used.
You should only use media you are entitled to use. State sources clearly.

I used following open source free tools for making the digital story telling:

Photoscape=to resize, sharpen, brighten, naming on the photos.
Windows Movie Maker=to put short clips,edited photos,delay timings,music pauses,display effects in the video.
MS Publisher=to make a 2-page pumflet/brochure for handy informative resource.

Production phase, what made you pick the tools and your experience from working with them

I used these tools because I am well aware with these tools and have been using for the last 3-4 years. Also these are easy and open source tools

Digital Story Telling is relatively new concept to share experience of various travel, adventures, activities, parties, and even get-togethers etc.
