Digital Story telling exactly what is it?
If you ask a young child what is story telling and they are more than likely going to tell you that they sit in a semi-circle on a rug in front of their teacher and she/he reads them a story. As an older student what story telling is and you may get a completely different explanation. They may tell you that story telling a long time ago was when the elders of a group would gather around and tell the next generation the history of their family verbally. Later on things may have been written down and passed on from one generation to the next so that family histories would not be lost. People would have to worry about loosing written records in natural disasters or family members bot wanting to hold on to them.
Today's form of story telling can be done in a completely different way. It only takes one person telling a family story or recording any type of information that they would like to pass down from one generation to the next using a computer. I made a picture storytelling just by using Windows live movie maker that came with my computer but can be downloaded for free. It was very easy to use and I really had a lot of fun doing the class assignment. I know that I will create more for my family to be able to actually see all the pictures that I have taken over the years. This way everyone will have access to the pictures and they can all enjoy them without having to flip through photo albums or get copies made so everyone has the pictures.
