= = =2011 Ship Day Photostory= Ok guys. I am real proud of this one. What a fast, easy to use, fun tool for many purposes. I created this as a culmination of our social studies unit about exploring the new world. Our fifth grade students get together into one classroom (45 of them) for six hours to simulate a six week voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to the new world. They dress for the occasion and eat food only from that time period. No electricity or modern conveniences. Any items from the 21st century are confiscated (except my digital tools!) They bring with them only what they can carry on their backs. They receive work packets and learn a valuable lesson on collaboration and time management. Whatever they don't accomplish during the day, becomes homework. This digital story video is definitely something that your students can easily do themselves and will enjoy every minute of it. What a great memory keepsake too!

Although it was time consuming to take the pictures, the actual Photostory was a piece of cake. Check it out!
