A DAY OF PHEOBE

    Hello there!

    For those of you who has visual intelligence I have the task for you!😁 This week we are talking about Digital Storytelling. As I have spoiled on my last post it is a collaborative work and I have worked with two of my beloved friends Sılanglish(Sıla Çelebi) and Öznur Çelepi . 

    In our material design course we talked about digital storytelling and we actually made a digital story ourselves.

    What is digital storytelling?
    It is basically the digital way of telling a story. It is a way to share your knowledge, imagination with the help of technology. These stories are usually 2-10 minutes in length and is a combination of visual, oral elements,narration etc. If you want further information there are several blog posts and videos on the Internet and here is one of them.

   What about education?

   Digital storytelling can be used in classroom by teachers to enhance the comprehension of a subject, increasing motivation or simply gaining the students' attention. And if it is given as a task to students it will be a chance for students to use their skills in multiple ways. It will be a creative task and it can also be a collaborative work which can help students with their social skills too.

   

  Our Story 

   We wrote a story, made our characters, drew the background and recorded the story, added sound etc. So overall it was a very creative process. None of us had ever done anything like this before so it was a new experience for each of us. 

   We wrote the story and then found suitable characters from this website. And then I have drawn the backgrounds and the penguins(😅). We didn't have much difficulty in doing those stuff but... we had little difficulties during the filming part. Aaand here is the outcome of this process.

   Sooo if you want to know our character Pheobe's day with our alien friend Mantis watch the video please!!😄

     Mantis - Sıla Çelebi     Pheobe - Hiranur Burak     Willy and the narrator - Öznur Çelepi

    What do you guys think about using digital storytelling in education? Do you think it is useful or unnecessary? 

Thank you as always!!!

See you next week hopefully:)
