Story time!!

Tell story with only pictures??
It's already old fashioned!!


Try our slideshow maker at Animoto.

Nowadays, people tell stories in a cool and fashion way.
Animoto, which is a place to make short digital video. This is a very easy place for novice to learn even if they don't have any experiences on making digital story book. It is actually very good for teacher to teach students on using digital to make story book and tell story or to introduce something.

This kind of digital story telling is actually good for the classroom. What teacher could do is assign a topic like festival, unforgettable experience, introduce your family or friends. Then, students could make their own digital story and share with their classmates. Moreover, they could keep the video for a very long time. By doing so, students could learn how to make video, tell the story, and cooperate (if teacher assign students work in a group). The best thing is, this kind of story telling could use in a very wide range of students. They would all make it if they are over 3 grade in elementary school. What they have to have is only know how to use computer.

For myself, I would definitely use this tool to teach my students. Digital thing could always attract students' attention. Also, they could learn a new topic by making a video. Moreover, they would have a very good chance to practice their oral skills. 

Ready?
Let, tell a story!!!

I think having students create the stories would be especially motivating, but of course the lesson would have to be well planned.
