I became so excited when I heard about what we were going to do this week. I love the idea of having narration to videos, and I enjoy the chance to add an auditory part to a visual subject. I immediately downloaded Photo Story and got to work (I finished at midnight on Sunday, I was that excited!) I then began thinking about how I could have my students do their own project. I am big into group work because some students are stronger than others and can help them along. I think research is very important, so the idea of having them research an artist seemed good.
This is a group project that will have to take place at school, so I would need to reserve a computer lab for students to use. I will also need microphones (at least 7 of them) that run around $20, internet access which is already available, and Photo Story 3 for Windows which is free.
I can see using this for tons of projects, from researching an ancient culture, to demonstrating a production process. I am looking forward to integrating this technology into my classroom in the future!
