Uses in the Classroom: Photostories can be used in a variety of ways within the classroom. One use would be as a project itself. You can create a project in which students must tell a story through photographs, music, words and other media. This is fairly straightforward and should be easy for students to grasp.
Another option would be to have students use a photostory as a digital work log for other projects in class. They would need to take pictures of the project they are working on and at the end of the assignment take all of their photos and detail the goal of the project and explain how they completed the project. With a discussion on their method of problem solving throughout the project.
Issues to Consider: When working with technology like this you must consider your students. One issue is that video editing software can demand a lot of resources from a computer. Some of your students may not have access to computers outside of school that are capable of running video editing software.
Another issue to consider is that based on personal beliefs some students aren't allowed to use computers or record themselves in a digital means. If that's the case you will need to find other ways for your students to complete the intent of the assignment.
