Day 9 Connected Educator Month: Tell Your Story

Visit Vimeo for some great tips: http://vimeo.com/videoschool/101

Yesterday you learned about digital storytelling and browsed through more than 50 ways to tell a story using Web 2.0 tools. I hope you put your think- ing caps on and dreamed up your own story to tell! Today, you’ll take your first step into digital storytelling.

• Follow the 3 easy steps on the 50 Ways wiki to get your story online.Outline your story, find some media, and create your story using an online tool.
• Maybe you’d rather try your hand at a 5x5 video. Record five 5-second clips and put them together to create a 25-second simple vignette. See Vimeo's video tips here. 
• Another great example of using clips to create a story is this time lapse video of the first 12 years of a little girl’s life.
• If you chose video as the medium for your digital storytelling journey, log in to YouTube and upload your video. Be sure to fill out the title, description, and give it some relevant tags, including CE14 (the tag for Connected Educator month) so others who are doing this activity can find your story.
