Welcome to Modern Educator

I am technology teacher at Truckee High School in Truckee, CA and currently teach classes like digital media, e-learning, applications, and keyboarding -- yes...still important! :) Please Join the Conversation!

Photo Storytelling

"A picture is worth a thousand words" .... so, what about using a bunch of pictures to tell a story!  Special or ordinary events can be captured on film to create memories or to share the experience with others.  Taking photos has never been so easy either since most all of us have a camera on our cell phones.  So, give it a try and tell a story with pictures. 

To get you started; I have included a link below to an article to read and a video tutorial to watch. 

The Secrets of Storytelling Photography - http://www.picturecorrect.com/tips/storytelling-photography/
Read this article to learn about how to take good pictures for telling a story that share similar techniques and structure to any good storyteller by including photographs that speak to our emotions.

Digital Media Students: Assignment 5pts - Your Story Topic
Digital Media students, please comment below and share your topic that you selected to tell a story about with your 20 pictures.  Make sure to include your first name only in your comment post so I can make sure to give you credit.  Next, take those photos that include an introduction, middle, and ending to your story.  Have fun with this and good luck.  We will share each of our stories with the class, including myself!
