Colorado Adventure
This is my project for digital storytelling. I chose this trip to Colorado because I feel I learned a great lesson. I was put in a tough situation and it was all up to me to get through it. It was an amazing trip and it is an adventure I will never forget.

The new skill I learned through this project is the program called Photo Story. I had never used this exact movie-making program but I found it to be easier than ones I have used. Instructions were given step by step which made it difficult to make any mistake. It was setup like a wizard so it went page by page explaining things you could add to your presentation. You could edit pictures, add text to pictures, play background music, or add certain transitions between pictures. The help button was really beneficial and it gave great advice for cropping or editing my images.

The recording of my voice was the easiest thing about this program. With the click of a button, I could time my voice to the slide without having to fiddle with it. It allowed me to record in sections and take breaks between pictures. The best part about this program is that I could save the file on the computer or flash drive and come back to edit it later. One excellent advantage to this program is the way you save the file. The last page of the wizard shows multiple ways to save your presentation and it shows you where you can find it after you save. Now that I have discovered how easy it is to use Photo story, I can’t wait to use it again. I would recommend anyone to use it only because it is easy to navigate and a great tool. I feel students would find it fun and entertaining especially in the classroom. Using this for projects would be easy because there is not much you need to explain to the students. They can learn on their own and enjoy experimenting with it.
