Digital Storytelling on #etmooc

I’ve been having a lot of fun with Digital Storytelling this week because it’s allowed me to be a bit more creative.

5 Flickr Story

By far, what I enjoyed was the 5Flickr story.  You choose 5 photos and you create a story.  What I liked was that I didn’t have to think logically but I could have my mind weave in and out of possible situations.  These were the 5 photos and I created two stories out of them…

    Thanks for sharing 🙂
