Digital Storytelling

Creating the first story, "The Zoo," was the easiest. The animoto program was simple to navigate and the links to the picture materials made the creation smooth. The stop by step process of creating the story was good for first time users. I liked being able to add music to the video, but I was not able to select any music that didn't have lyrics, which I think would have fit the video better. Also, the pictures look really pixelated, and I don't know if thats limitation on animoto or from the source I got the pictures from. The Scrapblog was not my favorite but I found the embedding videos portion was good instructionally. A limitation was the choice of music. I didn't like any of them, so I simply embedded videos in order to make the scrapblog more appealing. 

The voicethread program was the most enjoyable to make. It was pretty weird recording your own voice but after awhile it was neat.I liked being able to record, delete, and edit multiple times. The voicethread is a good tool to personalize videos.
