Digital Storytelling without Software???

I love to take out pictures.
Children love to take out pictures.
Have a digital camera? Access to a computer and a printer? Have no internet service to download Microsoft Photostory 3 in school?
Students can still create digital stories and other products in school.

As we all know by now, we can create marvellous interactive ebooks using Powerpoint where graphics and pictures including digital photography can be inserted. However, technology can also be integrated into reading by using digital cameras to have students create brochures, posters, big (and little) books, newspapers, advertisements etc. Just give students a digital camera, have them work in groups to create projects (this both motivational and promotes collaborative learning) and watch them have fun! By the way, make sure the specific reading or writing instruction and content is taught beforehand eg. propaganda techniques in advertisement.
