Page history last edited by sholland@... 4 mos ago

There are infinite ways you as a classroom teacher will have to use photo's you take or your students take... Here you can explore a few ways for your class to create and share projects and for you to use digital tools on line to store and create with photo's...

 

Others to try:

  • Kodak Gallery Photo storage with the ability to organize, edit, and add borders, tints and other creative touches.
  • Snapfish All the above with the additional ability to create "group rooms" where all your staff, students, teachers, or fellow-library media specialists can add photos to one collection.
  • Shutterfly In addition to being able to pick up your prints at your local Target, shutterfly offers an online community where you can share your work and see projects created by others as well as a blog full of ideas. Includes a section on digital storytelling.
  • Picasa Web Albums from Google. Upload and manage your photos. Public albums are searchable through Google image searching. 

 

Digital Storytelling

Digital storytelling is a great way to engage students as well as to integrate information skills, technology skills, literacy, writing and any of the content areas. Since images are at the heart of digital storytelling, it seems appropriate to mention some good references. "

There are many different definitions of "digital storytelling," but in general, all of them revolve around the idea of combining the longstanding art of telling stories with any of a variety of available multimedia tools, including graphics, audio, video animation, and Web publishing." (University of Houston)
