MISSION: DIGITAL STORYTELLING!!!


 Today, It is pretty hard for anyone to be away from technology, as it effects our lives in many ways.Even this blog is a benefit of technology. And today, I will introduce another technological tool for you; diigital storytelling. It is a way of conveying both the sound and the image spontaneously. Here is my adventure of digital storytelling process. Hope it would be efficient for you to understand the usage of DS.

 First of all, it is essential for us to have a program for it. We used "Animaker" with my friend Gülsüm. We chose it because there limited programmes that are free. Animaker is not completely free as there are limited things that can be used while preparing the video. Yet, we did it despite many challenges.  Animaker is an easy and handy program as it has all the thing one need while  making digital storytelling. There are avatars, background images, facial expressions and many other things that one can need. You wil just choose what you want and apply it on your video. But, you should plan your story step by step for not having trouble.


 İt is also important whom you will work with.  I worked with Gülsüm my classmate, and being in pair made us help each other. We tried doing our best although We both had no idea how to do at first. By searching and examining the program, we created a digital story told by us.
However, I do not know whether it is beneficial or not for students to do it on their own. As, it requires instruction from teachers. Unless teachers explain what to and how to do them clearly, students can not cope with it. So, teachers should be aware of the difficulty of this work and do what they have to. Otherwise, it will be a time-comsuming and boring activity for students...
Hpoe it would be explanatory for you... See u for now...
