Welcome to our Digital Story Training Hub!

Here you will be shown how to use Microsoft Photostory 3. Photostory is a free lightweight software package that is available from Microsoft that allows people to put together digital stories in lightning fast speed and export the finished product ready for the web.

If you do not have Microsoft Photostory 3 you can download it from Microsoft Photostory's Site

We have provided you with a set of 7 tutorials (or screencasts) that will guide you step-by-step through the process of putting together a digital story. What's a screencast I hear you say?!

A screencast is essentially the recording of a computer screen,  which more times than not is a demonstration on how to do something using a computer. So you will be able to see exactly what is going on by following our trainers mouse around the screen just as if they were sitting next right next to you! Pretty cool huh!?
