Original Story of Me Activity Brainstorm

=Introducing Ourselves: Digital Stories About Me=

Some sort of technology activity where they create a digital story about themselves. Teachers would make one also. Part of students and teachers getting to know one another.

The Science Leadership Academy Magazine Unit ([|Download Word Document]) - could be basis for this activity. Magazine Unit Goals:
 * To begin to tackle the 9th Grade EQ’s, students will explore what makes them who they are in the form of a “self” magazine.
 * Students will warm up to writing.
 * Students will learn to use technology as a creative tool.
 * Students will get to know their classmates better and feel more comfortable in class.

Could be a [|PhotoStory] document and [|Creative Commons licenced photos from Flickr], perhaps using [|FlickrCC]. (we have teachers and students get to know each other, while students get to work with media, and we get to teach lessons about copyright and acceptable use...).

This could also be where we introduce Project Foundry.
