My Digital Story Telling experience and reflections:

  • Choose a series of photos from a desired topic
  • The above step is done by filtering some outstanding and (representative) photos
  • These photos act as “key-frames” or the “backbone” of the story
  • Use the above “key-frames” to guide the reader thru the whole story
  • The sequence of the photo is important, as it represents the time (order) of the events
  • Nevertheless, this is the first time I produce a digital photo story. In addition, this is the first time I use a digital photo story in teaching (I haven’t think of it before!) <– It is very interesting.
  • I think I will make more Digital Stories for teaching in the future.

    My Design Tips / Rationales:

  • A Title screen is necessary for the audience to know the main theme or the objective of the lesson movie.
  • Avoid unnecessary zoom-in and zoom-out. Otherwise, they will cause the audience become fainted when watching the video.
  • Background music is only used in the title screen and the ending screen. This acts as a signal for the audience to know the beginning and the end of the movie.
  • Background music is NOT used during the teaching process is to avoid distracting the audience. (Reference: Mayer, R.E. and Moreno , R. (2002). Animation as an Aid to Multimedia Learning. Educational Psychology Review. 14(1): 87-98)
