Storytelling: Adding Voice through Digital Narrative

You may want to create a multimedia digital narrative (digital story with voice narration), that adds "voice" to your portfolio. This project may be submitted as a URL and embedded into your blog, and the script for your narration may include the references you used to support your statement. This digital narrative will be 3-to-5 minutes (300-500 words), recorded and illustrated with digital images, and posted online, either in YouTube/TeacherTube/SchoolTube (upload a digital video created with iMovie, MovieMaker or PhotoStory), or developed in VoiceThread, or developed as Powerpoint adding narration using Screenr.com. Digital images should be either Creative Commons (from Flickr search) or digital photos that you have taken or Powerpoint slides you have exported to JPEG or screenshots of educational websites.

Here is another Google Site that outlines the process of creating digital stories:
