Dear classmates,
Before taking this course, I know nothing about flash, storyboard or even the digital photo story. All these topics seem to be difficult for me. However, I am glad I could cope with all these difficulties. Just because the guidelines that Daniel gives us is clear. Although the pace of the learning progress is a little bit fast and my workload in school is heavy, I have a lot of good classmates. They give me a lot of advice and help.
The digital photo story
The next task is about the digital photo story. It is about the digital imaging. It is a kind of presentation for creative photography and multimedia projects. It is about how to import the images and audio clips, modify the images, record and edit audio and put all these materials in a finished Digital Story forms. I find that It is interesting for sharing my vocation stories with photos in a story form. It is useful for creating a multimedia slideshow for the presentations of the teaching materials.
Technology Tools for Digital Storytelling
There are many different kinds of software programs which are available to support Digital Storytelling. I think Microsoft Photo Story 3 is more user-friendly for me to apply.
The table below is what I found about the software programs we can choose to start with Digital Storytelling.

Conculusion
I enjoy making digital photo story ( by Photo Story 3 software ) as well as watching it. It’s easy to learn and make. It doesn’t take too much time to produce it. The photos do not have to be high resolution, as the motion tends to mask the quality. The PhotoStories also scale nicely on a wide range of hardware. So after this course, if I have time I will make use of my other photos to make more photo stories.

Hi,
I love children. So I choose to be a teacher. But when I am a teacher, I found it's difficult to be a good teacher. And I found what I learnt in this course can actualize my dream that I can arose the interest of the children learning. So we choose this topic as our project.
