Using Google Apps 4 Digital Storytelling

I attended this webinar on using Google Apps for digital storytelling. If you are using Google apps, especially with students, this is worth the time.

My Notes:

• Teacher creates Google site with all resources, custom image/sound searches, tutorials, boundaries, info about creative common licensing, and examples of other projects
• Storyboards collaborated via google docs. Students use teacher-made template.
• Google custom search enabled the teachers to help students narrow searches to the websites approved by the teacher
• Use Google sites as wiki to post videos, reflect on stories, add comments/suggestions, for team/peer review.
• All Google files are shared with the team = no excuses for team when one student is absent.
• Use of Aviary (Google Marketplace) for audio editing. Aviary files are saved directly into google docs.
•
