If you need additional ideas for creating ICT-based lessons, here are some examples, all to do with photos | If you need additional ideas for creating ICT-based lessons, here are some examples, all to do with photos. | ||

* A '''Digital Photo Story''' combines different media. It is a story made up of images, accompanied with written text, voice, motions, transitions and music, resulting in a rich product that can be used to express, share, describe, present, … to tell a story. Photo Story Telling can be used to: | |||
* Present: Learners can use a Photo Story to report on a trip, a visit or a meeting, to describe a phenomenon, a person or an event. Students can describe for example a normal day in their life, or the place where they live with a story of pictures and narrated with voice. | |||
* Introduce: Teachers and learners can make an overall introduction of an object or a word by using images. | |||
* Explain: Teachers and learners can use a sequence of pictures to explain a phenomenon or a certain process. | |||
* Tell a story: Teachers and learners can tell the story of a character or an event by pictures. | |||
* Create a learning situation: Teachers can engage learners in a visual story and encourage learners to solve presented problems. | |||
Teachers can use Photo Story Telling at different stages of a lesson: | |||
* To introduce new concepts, ideas and background information, as a warm-up to engage learners in the learning process, to illustrate a problem. | |||
* For learners to attain new knowledge: Learners can be asked to develop a Digital Photo Story to describe what they have learnt, synthesising their knowledge, etc... | |||
* To review and evaluate learning outcomes: The teacher can produce a Digital Photo Story as a visual summary of main concepts of the lesson, to revise and conclude a lesson. | |||
Some inspiration for use of Digital Photo Story Telling in different subjects can be found in the VVOB toolkit: | |||

* Another way to use photos is to prepare a set of photos for classroom use, such as for classification tasks, as in the Eness lesson on vertebrates that we watched earlier. You can remind yourself of the video [[/Vertebrate photo use|here]]. | |||
