Digital Storytelling: The Guardian Critter

 

Hi everyone! This week's assignment was to create a digital storytelling by selecting one of the three choices in our Technology and Material Design course, We chose the third one: Creating A Fictional Story. My partner is Beyza.

First of all, digital storytelling is a short form of digital media production that allows everday people to share  aspects of their life story. The media used may include the digital equivalent of film techniques animation, stills, audio only or any other non-physical media which inviduals can use to tell a story or present an idea.

While preparing this project, actually we had so many difficulties. It was because of the lack of knowledge about softwares and technological devices again. Still, it was both enjoyable and tiring experience for us. First, we  made several researches about the programs that we would use. The second step was to explore the online software program to create digital storytelling in it. We used Animaker program. It has a lot of backgrounds, characaters, properties, effects, sounds and so on. However, most of them weren't free. So, this led us to use certain objects in our project.
What is more, collaboration is very important thing while doing assignments. We feel less stressfull when we have a partner. This motivates us and more colourful ideas can occur. We can easily share our ideas with our friend and that makes the assignment more creative.
As for classroom implications, digital story telling is very popular in our age. Because traditional methods in education aren't efficient. Learning can be more permanent through digital storytelling. Teachers using digital storytelling in their courses help their students improve pronunciation, listening and speaking skills easily. I will use it definitely and recommend it to all teachers.
You can watch our Digital Storytelling below. I hope you'll like it. I'm waiting for your comments!
