Thing 5: Digital Storytelling

I was familiar with PhotoStory and had used it personally to create a 50th anniversary project for my parents. After beginning a new 10-week class with 6th graders this year, I decided to try having them create photostories as a final media presentation to go with their research projects.  For the most part, it has been a great success. They are posted on my library website at http://galileo.dcboces.org/icampus/course/view.php?id=1475&edit=0&sesskey=Z1v8NuXwGH along with some Prezi presentations I had some students attempt. We ran into some problems imbedding student-created videos, but otherwise the project was a lot of fun!
