Digital Story TPACK

Content:
We decided to work with 1st grade
Standard 1Objective 2b
Objective 2 Develop language through viewing media and presenting.
b.Use a variety of formats (e.g., show and tell, drama, sharing of books and personal writings, choral readings, informational reports, retelling experiences and stories in sequence) in presenting with various forms of media.

Pedagogy:
We will be representing "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." With pictures, narration and music in a digital story. We will be letting the student see books in another light. After having students watch this movie. Each student or a group of students will make their own. This is a very creative way of getting students excited about literature.

Thechnology:

To represent this story we will be using Photostory. Photostory will allows us to combine pictures to make a movie. It also lets us narrate the story and have music in the background. This will allows the students to see this story in a new way. They will be able to look at new pictures and hear me reading the story. So they will be able to work on their reading fluency.

PS. The monkeys don't mean anything, I just like them. You could take this project a little farther and give students a group of different pictures and have them make up a story with the pictures.
