Engage your students in telling their own stories through the use of Photo Story. See how this simple software tool works in real classrooms, where students can present their own narratives using both pictures and words.
In our first Tech Thursday TC Jessica Alexander will share and demonstrate her experiences using photo story across curriculum with her students. Along with her insightful use to encourage students to write, we will demonstrate and instruct participants in the use of photo story software.
