50+ Web 2.0 Ways To Tell a Story

Digital Storytelling can be achieved using a variety of technologies. There are many programs for purchase to achieve the digital format (I have used Premier Elements and Pixie,) but there are also many free options. PhotoStory3 and MovieMaker are free downloads from Microsoft. Visit Cogdogroo by Alan Levine to see more than 50 Web 2.0 ways to create various stories. I like the way he used the same story for most of the examples. By clicking on his "Dominoe" stories in each tool, you can see the various elements included in each. My favorite new sites (that I haven't seen) were One True Media, Slide Roll, Photoshow, Vuvox Colage Sliding, and Toufe.



I created this video in less than 10 minutes with pictures from my photography class. It doesn't deserve an academy award, but gives you an example of how quick and easy it was to create.
