An idea for a technology enhanced lesson that I had, used powerpoint and photo story. For a unit on plants I thought it might be fun to do a power point presentation on the different parts of the plant and the life cycle of plants. If we did an experiment on the things plants need to grow, we could chart our results and observations and then make charts and graphs based on that information on microsoft excel. I thought it would also be fun to use photo story to take pictures of the experiment and of all of the different plants and the kids participating in it and create a digital story out of it. At the end of the unit the class could watch it. It would be a great way to summarize the experiment and all that they had learned.
sounds like an excellent idea. If the students are actually going to be creating it, make sure that you plan enough time - especially if they have never used the tool before.
