Digital+Storytelling+AR


 * Introduction:** This digital story is about a trip that I took to Washington D.C. a few summers ago. We encountered a problem on our very first day there and this story tells about it. Overall, our trip ended up being very educational and fun.

While producing my digital storytelling assignment, I was required to learn a new skill that I had never used prior to this project. I chose to use PhotoStory to create my digital story. This is a program similar to iMovie, but it is only available for PC computers. It enables one to import pictures, edit pictures, apply transitions, and narrate pictures. All of these basic steps create the digital story.  It was quite simple for me to learn how to use PhotoStory. All I did was download it to my laptop and play around with it for a little while. I had used iMovie in class, so I knew what I was trying to do with this new program. PhotoStory is very straightforward. Each step is laid out for you right as you are creating your story. The page tells you exactly what to do, so I followed these easy step-by-step directions. There is also a help tool that I had to use once or twice to figure out how to complete certain tasks. Otherwise, I basically taught myself how to use this new technology. I have used ProfCast before, so when narrating my story and applying the narration to my pictures I just remembered what I did with ProfCast when changing my pictures as I recited my story and used the same technique for PhotoStory. Overall, PhotoStory is a very simple program to learn and use. I will definitely use it again.
