After clicking on the link to watch my video after I had posted it, I found that the finished product didn’t match my pre-saved view. So, I redid the video. I’m a perfectionist and found that even by typing in the exact times I wanted events to show, they still didn’t match on the final product. So, I went back and watched the “finished” video while going back to edit times based on the “finished” video. This final version works better!
Popup Video
I used a BBC Planet Earth video to make my Popup Video. This was a fun activity and I can see myself using this for my student’s videos at the end of the year. I added mostly text or popups, but I did find one picture of people dune skiing. I hope you enjoy this video!
Five-card Flickr Story
I played Five-card Flickr and created a story. Please visit it at http://5card.cogdogblog.com//show.php?id=32288
It was a fun way to spend my morning; playing with pictures and coming up with a quick story about the pictures I chose.
Digital Storytelling Story
I created a movie of our visit to the aquarium at Sea World San Antonio in June 2013. We love watching the fish and had fun trying to kiss a fish. I make a movie for my class each year with pictures of students as a memory for them to keep. I usually use Movie Maker, but for this movie I used Picasa. I find that I like Movie Maker better because of the user friendly interface. I had more difficulty with Picasa, but that may be because of my familiarity with Movie Maker. Sea World San Antonio
Animated GIF
I tried to create an animated gif using the sites suggested and hit a wall. So I used http://www.makeagif.com and created the following gif. I found it difficult to find pictures that match enough to make a good looking gif on the makeagif site, so I will be trying to create one by editing layers again. Who knows, it may work. I’ll let you know if I can get it done correctly.
Lego MadLib
Hi! This is my first blog post about Digital Storytelling. I really liked the story of Lego MadLib because it represents what I live every day. My children love to play with Legos and I love MadLibs. I have Lego pieces all over my house. I pick them up everywhere; out of baskets, off the floor, under the couch, everywhere! My degree is in English, so I love playing with words and enjoy the comedy that MadLibs create.
