Today we learned about digital storytelling. We used VoiceThread to see how several people can see one picture or video and all comment on it using either text or their voices. It is a good tool that can be used by people from everywhere. It is a great way to collaborate with others on the Internet.
We also used Photostory to make a book trailer about Beverly Cleary's Beezus and Ramona. It was easy to use and has a lot of cool options for motion and sound. I had trouble with my microphone volume, but this could be fixed easily with a better pair of headphones I think.
In the afternoon we worked with Glogster and Wix.com. They were both really easy to figure out, but both had problems when we were working with them. Glogster is very eye catching and fun to look at. Wix is a little different, but still useful for the same purposes. In the future, if I am working with either of these sites I will definitely have a backup plan since they were a bit unreliable on these computers.
