Krislene's+Digital+Storytelling

​ This is my digital storytelling project for my EDU 290 technology class. It was one of our last projects to do, because it incorporated a few different technologies. We had to choose a personal story, and I picked a story that occured during my senior year of high school. Enjoy!

To create this digital storytelling project I choose to use an online photo collage site called vuvox.com. Not only had I never used this website before, but I had never used a website to create a project before where you can store your own files such as pictures, video, and audio on their database. It was beneficial to learn about this, because this allows you to store your own files in an area that you could reach from any computer, of course as long as you had an internet connection.

Using VuVox.com was a really nice website to use; it was smooth and easy to operate. It makes it quite simple to add picture, and to overlay audio. One of the things I found most interesting was the way you could overlay areas they called “hotspots” with additional items. These items could be movies, text, or even links to external websites. Within my project this time I just used it to add additional text. Though I did play around with this function for a bit, and it would be quite useful to add additional sources, such as websites, to your own work. The website allows for a person without much trouble to create their own very smooth looking, interactive collage. It’s a very cool way to throw pictures together from an event to share with others via email. Plus it’s free to use, this means photojournalist or photographers can use it when their first starting out to get there work out and recognized.
