Photo Story 3
I have found that Photo Story 3 is a phenomenol tool to use in the Bilingual classroom setting. It can be used for example with beginning ELLs who cannot read or write in the target language, use their language by speaking about the pictures that are implemented in photo story. A student can also be asked to sequence pictures, and speak about each photo in sequential order. Moreover, they can be asked to used sequential words (assuming the student has been exposed to that sort of vocabulary.)
Another way that it can be used is to dictate a narrative story, or an autobiography. I am currently experimenting with the site and trying to find a place for it in my unit of Native Americans. The visuals are key for the demographic of my classroom. There are students who fit the profile of various language and academic levels. It becomes challenging to differentiate for all levels, however a tool such as Photo story 3 gives me endless possibilities as to how I would use it in the classroom.
The best part is, the software is easy to download and navigate once the program has been downloaded.
