Melissa+J's+Digital+Storytelling+Project

I created this digital storytelling project for my EDU 290 class. This past summer I worked as a camp counselor at a summer camp in Maine. In this story, I decide whether I will return there for another summer or not.

I learned a new skill independently while creating this digital storytelling project. I learned how to use the program called Photo Story 3. Before this project, I have never even heard of this program. I learned how to create a digital story in Photo Story 3 by adding my own photos and audio. In fact, it was really simple to learn. As soon as I opened the program, I followed the steps that were provided. First, I imported my pictures from my desktop. Then I arranged them in the order that I wanted to see them in the film. After that step, I recorded my narration onto the pictures. At first I was not really sure how to record my narration onto the pictures, but then I realized that it was really simple. By using trial and error, I was able to discover that I could record right from the program by simply clicking record. I also discovered that each separate picture could have its own narration. Some pictures could even have no narration at all. This narration definitely made my slides come to life by having sound. After I completed these steps, my film was ready to be saved. I completed my digital storytelling project by exploring Photo Story 3 on my own. I definitely hope to create even more digital storytelling projects with Photo Story 3. In the future, I plan to explore more programs independently and learn new skills so that I can create more digital projects.
