Wow! I am so happy that I follow Creative Language Class. Today I received Kara's latest blog post on how she chooses which vocabulary she will target for a unit. The blog referenced back to a previous post that sounded interesting and useful. This is where the Wow comes in. I learned about Adobe Voice and was able to see its application for telling a story with pictures and voice. It looks super easy to use and would be great for any level of my Spanish classes. Here is the link to the example provided:

My next unit in Intermediate Spanish is on memories and leaving your home country to live in another country. I want to pull in immigrant stories as part of the unit, have my students interview an immigrant, and then they can use Adobe Voice to tell their own family story.
I have to try this out myself! I will add to this post once I have completed it so you can see another example.
Hi
ReplyDeleteThank you for introducing Creative Language Class and Adobe Voice. The app looks very easy to operate and very beneficial to language learners. Not only they can practice speaking in target languages but also practice presentation and learn necessary points in storytelling.
I enjoyed the storytelling by the blog author and am so jealous that teachers in the US have two-month-long summer vacation!
Hi Theresa:
ReplyDeleteAdobe voice sounds amazing. Is it a free tool or one that comes with the Adobe Suite? Another program that I have used that sounds similar to this is e-maze. Emaze is an online presentation tool that combines images, text, audio and video. in
Rachel,
DeleteWe have Adobe at the College so I didn't even look to see if their is a cost related. Thanks for the recommendation of Emaze. I will take a look.

Wow! Thanks for sharing Theresa. I am doing my Lit Review on digital storytelling so this will definitely come in handy. I haven't used DS in my classes yet but would like to. My students would find it interesting to be able to combine the audio and visual.
