Digital storytelling involves weaving together images, music, narrative, and voice to create engaging stories. It can be used for topics like book talks, projects, and autobiographies. Creating digital stories requires a microphone, digital images and photos, and either the Photo Story 3 program or the Voicethread website. Photo Story 3 is pre-installed on school computers and allows adding effects, transitions, and audio to photos. Meanwhile, Voicethread is web-based but requires an educator account. Both provide tutorials and support for novices. Images can come from cameras, disks, sites like Flickr or the Library of Congress. Music options include built-in or sites like beatpick.com.
