Digital Storytelling - Photo stories and Mashups

Want to combine video clips, music tracks and photos to create multimedia digital stories that your students will love to watch and create? Mash-ups are a combination of multimedia files combined into one. Using free resources like Animoto, Shwup, Windows Movie Maker or iMovie, teachers can combine mediums into a fun video clip to be shared with their peers, parents and students.
