Our class went on a field trip to the Chattahoochee Nature Center. It was more than a walk in the woods. Students explored, used dramatic play and touched things found in nature. They gained an appreciation for the earth and it's creatures. Rebecca, our guide did an outstanding job helping the children capture her enthusiasm for the outdoors. I took nearly 200 pictures. I printed them on copy paper in b/w. Students wrote about 2 photos, one self selected and the other selected by me. The second day I had students come to my desk during snack to record their narration over this PhotoStory 3 project. It's 6 minutes long, longer than most but they are reading their own words and this can't be rushed. I attempted to convert the wmv file using zamzar.com but it told me the file was too large. I broke down and bought crazi for ipod by River Past. It does a perfect conversion and costs under $30. Now I will likely do more with PhotoStory because the students are asking to take their own pictures and want to write about them!
