December Technology Training: Photo Story

Looking for a neat literacy activity that uses technology and is easy to do? Have your students or create a Photo Story that includes photos and a poem. See this example. First find a poem that you want your students to read. Have a discussion about the meaning of the poem. After this discussion, ask the students to find photos that represent the meaning of each line in the poem. Flickr Creative Commons is a great resource for beautiful photos that are copyright free. This activity could be done with lines from a story, as well.

Here is a screencast movie of how to do it http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/TecEds/training/screencast/photostory/index.html.
