Photo Story and Animoto

Wow, this was incredible. I absolutely loved playing with both Photo Story 3 and Animoto. There are definite advantages to both programs. Animoto was so easy to use, and I was thrilled with the final product. It didn't really bother me that I couldn't include my voice. However, I think that Photo Story 3 is the better choice for digital storytelling because you have more flexibility. Students could actually tell the story in their own voices, which can be a powerful tool. I must admit that I was more excited about setting up a You Tube account than anything else! It has been a very fun experience getting familiar with these two programs.

  2. What a great project. I really enjoyed watching both of your videos. The music was great too. You did a good job of teaching how to make the flowers. I'm not very crafty, but believe that I could do it after watching. Thanks.

  4. Wow! Now I know how to make tissue paper flowers. Those looked so cool. I agree that Photo Story seems to work much better for instruction. You can just put so much more explanation into it.

  8. Great project AND videos!! I agree with you on your analysis of PhotoStory. If both features were combined I'd be one happy camper :) I had to chuckle on your eagerness to set up a YouTube account :)
