=Digital Storytelling Project=

First Day at School in the U.S.
This is my Digital Story Telling project. I decided to tell this story because I think I learned I lot from what happened to me on my first week of high school in the United States. I also chose it for I think I can, hopefully, motivate other people to continue going after their goals no matter what.

I think the new skill I learned is the program I used for this project. I used Photo Story and I loved it! It is a very easy program to use because it tells you what to do step by step. Downloading your pictures doesn't take very long. You can remove black borders from your pictures if you wish. It also tells you that if cropping a picture will not yield the best results. I thought that was nice because it helped me not to make the pictures look bad. You can also specify the start and end position of motion of each picture. There are also plenty kinds of transitions where you can shoose from to use them in you project.

I also loved that I was able to add text on a picture to create a title fro my story. It allowed me to place the text wherever I wanted on the picture. This was really nice because my story was required to have a title. But what I loved the most about this program was that I was able to narrate my story. I was able to step through the pictures as I was recording my voice. I also found very nice that I could type notes to aid my memory as I narrate each picture. was able to delete what I recorded in each picture if I didn't like how I sounded and start over. I thought that was nice because I could try it as many times as wished until got the result I wanted. It is a very great program!
