Greetings!
It seems like it was forever ago when I got the iPoem idea from Karl Fisch (the guy who wrote "Did you know" and "Shift Happens"). Since then, the project has gone from a small class lesson, to a school-wide contest and us giving out 5 iPods to children! I hope this year to see v.2 be much larger and have more participation.
This summer I have had the opportunity to present the program to three different groups of professionals and further tweak my ideas while teaching technology at a summer camp of 2nd-8th grade students at the local community college.
Some people have asked for some DIGITAL STORY TELLING resources. I first teach the children how to use Photo Story 3. Teach the program, then apply the project to the program--this takes an extra day, but it relieves the stress of doing both at the same time.
Photostory 3 is a free download from Microsoft that can be used in digital storytelling projects with excellent results. Photostory requires Microsoft XP and Windows Media Player 10.
- Photostory3 Download | Microsoft
- Windows Media Player 10 | Microsoft
An excellent PDF/print resource for teaching Photo Story 3, can be found here. Thanks to Jakesonline.org! On that Web site there are also screencasts that are great help, too!

I also create Pod casts. In my class, its called the "B-Cast" and they are hosted with the HCSB FirstClass Web Publishing folder, and then I submit them to iTunes for easy downloading.
