LIB 602 Week 4: Digital Storytelling

 
I just finished trying out Yodio.  I took me a minute to figure it out.  It is so simple that it is complicated.  I wanted to be able to record one long message and have it play over several pictures, but I have not figured that out yet.  You have to create a different audio track for each picture.  You will probably notice that in my video.  I like the set-up, but will have to better prepare my script in the future for which lines go with which pictures.  I used my phone to record all of the audio tracks.  My drama students create radio shows and this would work if they called in their lines.  Also, students could post book reviews to the library website.  I may even have my sisters play around with it and pretend to be my students and add some book reviews to my site we are creating for class.

I am playing around with Animoto and am trying to use it for a book trailer.  As part of exploring, I made a video with pictures of my boys!  I just love looking at their adorable faces!!

  1. I need to try out Yodio. It's on my to do list. Your videos are great. I think students would love seeing videos about their own library. And your babies are beautiful! :)
