Parent notification and permission - from Jason Ohler:
"Because you will be showing student work that might include the actual students themselves, you must get expressed written permission from parents to do so. I send out a letter at the beginning of the project to let parents know about the project, then follow up with a permission slip asking for permission to record and show student work.
- Parent notification. This letter explains what a digital storytelling project involves and how it benefits students.
- Parent permission. This letter seeks permission from parents to record and distribute their childrens' performances. I do not provide an example because parent permission requirements vary from school district to school district. Ask your administrator or district's counsel for the media release form. When in doubt about any aspects of this, ask them for clarification."
Additional Tools to Use to Create Stories
- Bubbl.us - a simpler alternative to Webspiration
- put the story in a wiki (PBworks) is our favorite)
- put the story in PowerPoint or Google docs Slide presentation if a group - text and audio
- create an oral narrative with CLEAR's podcast tool called Broadcast (no graphics)
- still our favorite! PhotoStory 3 (installation required/PC only) and post to YouTube - HO
- iMovie (Mac) or MovieMaker (PC) - both are free, require installation if not on the computer already
- Plurk - sort of like Twitter, but collected on a page, used for writing a collaborative story line by line
here's an example of a plurk story in progress - http://www.plurk.com/p/10sqa
- xTimeline uses photos, video and text in a chronological format
- Chinswing - similar to VoiceThread, but no graphics, just a chain of oral responses
- StoryTop - drag and drop clip art to make a comic-like story
- Yodio - add your voice via a phone to your photos
- VuVox - like Animoto, create moving slide strips with audio/music in the background, not photo by photo like PhotoStory or Voice Thread can do
