For this blog I used the Animoto website. I was able to create a picture collage with different pictures that relate to this story. It is a way for students to connect to the story and get the basic idea. I included a synopsis of the story underneath the "movie". I really enjoyed using this aspect of technology because it gave room for creativity. It was great to show how you interpreted the story and used your resources creatively.
One lesson plan that I could create from this is having students actually do it themselves. I would put in them in pairs and pick a story they enjoy. I would then have them look for images on Google to place in the show. I would most likely do this for 3-5th graders. They are able to work with computers easier and understand the concept. We would then present them in the class.
Another lesson I believe that could be used would be one talking about illustrations in various books. This really shows that illustrations can create a story rather than help it. The students can make illustrations first, and then create a story. This will give them a chance to see how illustrations really impact a story. They can go online, create a photo album, and then tell a story based on those pictures.
The last lesson that I think could be used from this is showing students how you can use technology for learning different things. By giving them this site, they can show their parents what they have learned. They can also create these for homework and get new insight into different stories.
