Digital Storytelling Project

Hello everyone! I am back with an entertaining project. This week my friends and I prepared a digital story and narrated it. I worked with Armagan and Merve. First we made up a story which was about three girls who went to forest for playing, then we found a suitable website, and animated our story. 

Our website's name is GoAnimate. In this website, we could choose our characters, their emotions and movements, and also add background images. You can upload any image or audio you want. Also, the website gives you a chance to narrate your words, that is; you can write the sentence and the program vocalize it for you.

I should say that creating a digital story is very fun and there are lots of options you can choose while preparing your story. You can either make your story in a website like us or just print some images and record it with your mobile phone. So, in classrooms we as teachers make our lessons enjoyable with digital stories. For example: we might make a digital story, watch it to our students, stop it before the end and want our students to write the end of it or we might say them to prepare their own digital stories with a partner. In this way, I believe that we can improve both their interaction with each other and creativity. Seeing that they can product something may give students a sense of self-achievement,

We had difficulty only in sharing our digital story, as the website requires to purchase to give an embed code so I write the URL here. You can watch our digital story by clicking this  link .

Hope that you will enjoy :)
