Photostory

I used Windows Photostory to create the above PSA on cyberbullying. I then posted the video on You Tube. The video can be accessed using this link. I was nervous when i started looking over this assignment because I was worried that Photo Story would be difficult to use and that the conversion to a video would be difficult. However, after beginning my first journey using photo story I found it to be very easy. For this particular project, the hardest thing was pulling pictures together and figuring out what exactly to say.

As I was using Photo Story I thought of many great uses for this program. This particular activity falls under technology standard 4- Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility, bullet c- promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information. I also thought that this could be a great end of year class activity if students were able to create a class scrapbook using Photo Story. It would allow them to work together as a class and take a trip down memory lane and review the year. This type of activity falls under technology standard 3- Model Digital Age Work and Learning, bullet b- collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovation. Finally, Photo Story would be a great tool for students to use to summarize their learning after an activity such as their weekly story. They could also create their own story and narrate it using this story. Both of these activities fall under technology standard 2- Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments, bullets a- design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity and d- provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.
