For my digital story project, I chose to make a video of some Michigan State pictures. This week, I will be doing a small lesson with my first grade students, showing them a little bit about where I live, and my community. Since I am very passionate about MSU, as well as live near campus, I chose to search the Creative Commons web base and use some pictures of MSU.
My plan is to show the students the photos without the captions first, since using Picasa, there is an option to hide the captions. Then I plan to go back to the first picture and read the caption to the students. I hope to tell the students a little bit about the photo, and relate a personal story to the picture. I hope the students will find this a bit more interesting than just listening to me talk, or than reading it in a book.
Using Picasa was very easy to upload photos, write captions, and organize the photos, however trying to add music, edit the photos, or re-size each photo wasn't an option on this web album.
