Moz: Why not create a digital story?
Tejas: What is a digital story? 
Moz: A digital story is a short, first person video-narrative. It is created by combining recorded 
voices, still and moving images, and music or other sounds. 
Jyoti: What is it used for?
Moz: It can be used to document life experiences, ideas or feelings, through the use of story and 
digital media. 
Jyoti and Tejas: That sounds interesting. We will make a digital story using presentation application. 
Jyoti and Tejas start discussing what story they want to tell. They decide to make a presentation on 
their visit to a bird sanctuary.

Add list of sub-points for the respective main points. 
Expand each sub-point by adding more information 
like text, images, graphs or tables.
Check the following: 1. 
Order of slides has a logical flow. a. 
Sub-points are correctly placed. b. 
Information is accurate, adequate and follows c.

Tejas: We need to apply the first stage for creating our presentation so that we have 
the outline ready.
Jyoti: This means we also need to collect all the information, including pictures, 
for the presentation. 
Jyoti: I found some pictures of birds from picture books. How can we use these in my 
presentation? 
Tejas: We can scan these pictures and insert the image file into the presentation.      Images 
Jyoti: We could draw pictures on the computer using a paint application.
Tejas: I clicked some photographs of our visit using a digicam. I will transfer these files onto the

Jyoti: Now, let us move to the next stage and apply animation effects to make our presentation 
more impressive. 
Jyoti: We have used custom animation to bring in various effects on the slide. 
Tejas: We remember that applying too many varied animations are distracting. So, we kept 
uniformity in the animation selected across slides.

let us give a mock presentation to check if we are able 
to complete our digital story within the given time. 
Moz: You can also get a print out of your presentation

Skill
Print slides
To print the handout view, follow the path: 1. 
    File ---> Print. Alternatively, Press Ctrl+P.
In the pop up window select ‘Handout’ mode. 2. 
Select the number of  slides 3. 
desired per page and click OK.
Tejas: Along with each slide, we have many things to say on each slide. It is difficult to remember 
all the points. Is there a way of noting points about each slide?
Moz: You could use slide notes to keep track of what you are going to do for each slide.
Notes can be written along 
with the slides. These can be 
of two types:
Notes or pointers to •	
yourself while you give 
your presentation 
Notes that are intended •	
for your audience. 
These can be printed 
and handed out during 
your presentation.
In the notes page view, you 
can view the slide along with 
the notes.
