Educational digital storytelling - video digital stories
Have your students create their own videos from digital photos
Did you know that you can create unlimited animated, music videos from digital photos at no cost?This is an exciting way to engage students in creating digital stories and learning new topics. You can use their technological proficiency to engage them in learning about new areas.
Animoto enables you or your students to make stunning, professional videos from digital photos. You can create animated videos about any theme with a simple three step process:
1. upload digital photos (around a theme, issue or topic)
2. add music (and/or audio)
3. create an animated, music video with the press of a button
Animoto uses the latest in cinematography to create professional looking music videos on a theme of your choice. The recipe - select your theme, your digital photos, music and/or audio and mix together by pressing a button. Animoto does the mixing - the actual video creation.
The beauty of this process for engaging students is that they can re-mix at will. Once the photos are uploaded, you can redo the video by changing the music, highlighting different photos (with a button) and pressing the create button (to re-mix your video). I know my teenage sons love to re-mix music through programs such as Garage Band, so here's another way to engage students' re-mixing skills.
For more information on this great free technology, VISIT ANIMOTO.
For an example of a video created with Animoto, check out the next module.
Tropical Rainforest Walk - digital story created with Animoto
Create endless animated, music videos on any theme
This simulated rainforest walk video was created with Animoto from photos taken during a walk through the Mt Glorious tropical rainforest in the early morning in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I have combined this video digital story with the photos to develop a Squidoo lens around the theme of preserving rainforests. Animoto can add another multimedia dimension to teaching and learning.

They usually involve about 250 words and 12 photos/slides. They are very easy to create with free software.
You can use your existing photos and slides to make your own movie.
Digital stories have evolved and grown because they engender emotion and involve very little technical knowledge. Anyone can create their own movie from their photos and produce a great story using images and sound.

Digital Storytelling Helps Autistic Child
Lynne Gibb (Australia) discusses her success in using digital storytelling (DST) to fully engage an autistic child:
I used DST last School Holiday Program with children ranging from Grades 1 - 6. It was a knockout success! The greatest success story was an autistic boy (11 years) who had been at the program for 4 years and hardly ever said a word. He spent hours looking through pctures of himself from all his previous programs and put them together into a sequence of his own choosing then proceeded to astound everyone as he started to talk about all the things he had done in the pictures, starting in a quiet tiny voice and eventually getting right into it and putting on funny voices, raising his voice and shouting even laughing would you believe!
It was amazing. he even put pictures of other children in there and said they were his friends - and the amazing thing was, they came and looked over his shoulder as he worked and he let them. He even started communicating with them, laughing and giggling. It was astounding. When his story was shown to his mother she couldn't believe her eyes. It was the biggest breakthrough he had ever had! There is definite power in storytelling and Photostory 3 is an easy and quickly rewarding program for children of all ages. Even the grade ones managed it quite successfully.

- Vickery Memory Map - Remembering a Neighbourhood
- The Story:
This is a memory map I worked with to try to tease out stories about places and events from my childhood. The landscape is completely different. All but one building that stood in the time of my childhood still exists in the couple of square miles that make up Vickery. The schools, the stores, the houses, the churches, the open areas, long ago became another world, a warren of endless apartments. - Save Our Shoreline
- Another model of the phototour narrative, but this time looking at a local area where redevelopment threatens to end an unusual space for creative expression and wild exploration.
- New Orleans neighbourhood mapping project
- A group of colleagues in New Orleans, led by Bruce France and Nick Slie of the arts company, Mondo Bizarro, has been collecting interviews from people effected by Hurricane Katrina. The interviews are shared on i10witness.org. With iWitness Central City, Mondo Bizarro has begun a neighborhood mapping project in association with CDS. The project will present a place-based cell phone tour of this historic neighborhood, a long time center of African American culture. The maps have videos embedded.
