“…an effective presentation is really all about good storytelling.” I love this line from Polly’s introduction to Thing 5!
For digital storytelling I’ve used PhotoStory 3 for quite a few years at the elementary level. It’s relatively simple for younger students to use. Even my 2nd graders could use it semi-independently by the time we finished our first project. I’ve used some of the tools recommended like Voicethread, Animoto, Toondoo and Voki, but was excited to try some new ones.
I decided to try Glogster because I have a specific persuasive writing project I worked on with a class this year that would really lend itself really well to this tool. I decided to use my sample topic and create a glog. I’m not in love with what I created although I do think this could be a great tool to use with students.
