Students Create an iPad Photo Slideshow about Roots, Stems and Leaves
Students combine research, images and voice narration to create a photo slideshow about Roots, Stems and Leaves. Students research information about these plant parts on the internet using the iPad. Students use the internet to find and save images of the plant parts. Students use their research information and add voice narration to their images to create an interesting and informative photo slideshow on the iPad.
The iPad app used for this example is "Sonic Pics." This program allows students to easily add images and text to create a digital photo slideshow. Other similar digital storytelling apps can be easily substituted.
This lesson plan integrates technology into the Life Sciences curriculum.
