Tool 7: storytelling to learn

I used Photostory to make a movie called, "Where do WORDS come from?"  I was very excited to make this movie, considering the results I've seen from fellow bloggers.  Its content is very important and useful in teaching reading intervention strategies, especially when it comes to working with younger students.  I thought it would be easy to drop several pictures into a frame, but again I found myself struggling.  I ended up making each multiple-picture frame in Powerpoint first, saving it as a jpg so I could import it later on Photostory.  Long story short, I was a bit disheartened after working so hard because I felt that I was basically making a powerpoint slide.  Here's the result...

I would use this in the classroom for any presentation or project, whether individual or group work, where students can digitally display what they've learned.  It would be great for a simple video on American symbols, insects, or plants.
