Hello everyone!

 This week our task was creating a Digital Storytelling.But first of all, let's give a brief definition of Digital Story. Digital storytelling is a relatively new term which describes the new  practice of ordinary people who use digital tools to tell their 'story'.

For our task our teacher gave us three DS options.The first option was talking about what it means to be good friends.The second option was "How to" project and the last one was creating a fictional story. For this project, i worked with my honey friend Şeyma Söylemez. We chose to make "How to" project and decided to explain How To Create an Origami Frog. Our project had to be no longer than 2 minutes so we couldn't take videos, we tried but it took nearly 9 minutes to make an origami frog thus we took photographs step by step. While ı was trying to form the frog, Şeyma photographed them and at the end of the work, we put together them in a program named Movie Maker. Then we added some music to it for its becoming more enjoyful.

When it comes to talk about advantages of collaborative working, it has so many positive effects on our outcome. We saved time, when we encountered problems we encouraged each other and it was easier to work in pairs in such a task which requires creative thinking. Finally, I 
want to talk about the contributions of creating a digital story to their language development. Because while studying English via Digital Storytelling, they will be aware of the fact that learning English may be enjoyful and when they are learning it they can also get fun.They can develop their pronunciation, writing ability, listening ability or thinking creatively.

So these are all what i wanted to say for this week now lets watch our task about "How to create an origami frog"
