In week 8 we learned about digital storytelling. We focused on online technologies that specialize in digital storytelling such as Animoto and iMovie. I created a slideshow about my little sister, Sophie using Animoto. Animoto is an online web 2.0 tool that allows users to upload pictures, and now video, to their site. Upon uploading, users are then able to choose a video style and music to accompany the slideshow that Animoto creates.
Sites like Animoto are useful on more of a consumer end. From a professional standpoint, Animoto does not offer enough control over the video to use for clients. However, I sent my Animoto video out to relatives and they loved it. All in all, its a useful tool, but too simple to be used professionally in a Telecom setting.
Prezi
I chose Prezi as my resource for this week's topic of digital storytelling. Prezi is a similar resource to Powerpoint, but entirely online and easily accessible from anywhere. The site allows a great deal of customization and makes more visually interesting presentations. Overall, Prezi is a top notch web 2.0 tool for presentations and digital storytelling.
