For this week’s task I chose to write a short story about my trip to China with my family. I used picture of the places I saw and organized them in a power point presentation. I then upload it to
myPlick.com to publish my story book. I like how myPlick was easy and straight forward to use and if I wanted to and music I could have to my story. I know this cite and especially this idea would be useful as a teacher for putting together a reflective story about a class trip or a project. Being able to make a story digitally like in myPlick helps the students see how a story can vividly come alive. I think a lot of students would enjoy even doing presentations more as they see that a presentation is just a story being told out loud.
The site I used was great for the short story I did, however it was more of a presentation site. I would encourage others to chose a different more interacting site if they wanted to make a story book. However if I was just uploading a presentation or story to tell the class then I did like how quick and easy myPlick worked. It was very user friendly.
Below is the story that I put together in myPlick.com. I hope you all enjoy.
Your digital story looks great! Also, your trips seems awesome! I'm glad the tool you used was simple, I used Picassa and it was sort of confusing. I agree that it can help students by allowing them to actually SEE the story. Anyway, have a great summer!!
