The tools of the trade

• Audio devices and editing audio with Audacity
• Photostory: A good beginner's tool but less flexible than video editors
• Movie Maker (for Mac users, iMovie): Offers more but may be complicated for young learners
• Photo editing with Paint.net

Creating your own stories:

• Interview each other to begin thinking and talking about the significance of your family artifact - ask probing and follow up questions
• Generate storyboard: What images will you use and how will you tell about them? This is where the writing process comes in with making a script for each image and then deciding the order.
• NOTE: If you didn't bring your own "stuff" for a digital story, use those from the resources listed
• Scan photos, arrange your images, write your script, narrate your story, add music
