  1. Actually it is an interesting experience for me to do this project!

    Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. Compared with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. This time our group focused on the concern of the high house price in HK. We watched a video related to this topic before and then recomposed this funny story by the app of " Tom and Ben News" , which can be downloaded from apple store free.

    During the process, we met some challenges: How to coordinate the two cartoon images to tell this story fluently? How to insert pictures into video in synchronization? How to make the content short but impressed? I think to do a digital storytelling is a good practice for collaboration and communication in a group. Students have learnt not only the technical skills, but also the cooperation with other, which is the essential social requirement for twenty-first century.

    This kind of course is so rare in Mainland China, because the traditional teacher-centered teaching method still plays the main role in school. Encouraging creativity and special is the main aim of digital storytelling, which is always adequate by mainland students. Sometimes, I suggest that school should turn to innovative education from exam-oriented education.
