The Lifecycle of a Frog- Digital Story

This story was created to use as an example for students. After completing a lifecycle Inquiry, I would have students use their notes, drawing, photographs, and research to create a Digital Story of their study. I found this program to be very straightforward and easy to use. CreativeCommons.org was a great tool to use for locating images, and I have it bookmarked for future use.

I can see application for all subjects, and is a great way to integrate music and art in your classroom. For Social Studies, I created a digital story of a field trip to the Michigan Historical Society. For math, I can see if used to show the steps, and different methods of solving a problem. The story I created was intended for science, but I can also see it used to show step by step instructions, or for presenting a digital lab report. For Language Arts, students could create stories, alternate endings, similar themes, class stories, class collections of works, etc.
