|
Students Create an iPad Photo Slideshow about Symbols of Government.
Students combine research, images and voice narration to create a photo slideshow about Symbols of Government. Students choose 3 or more symbols of U.S. Goverment to research on the internet using the iPad. Students find and save images of their chosen symbols of government. 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." A similar program for combining research, images and voice narration is "Little Bird Tales". Both of those programs are paid apps. There is also a free program called "Storykit" that allows students to create digital audio storybooks that could be used here as well.
This lesson plan integrates technology into the Social Studies / History curriculum.
