Time Travelers





Well, they are at it again! Some of the students who studied China last year and went on to participate in our digital storytelling class have been using photos from my China trip to create Time Tunnel Photos. Here's what they did:

1) Selected a site from the Google Map on this site.
2) Used Internet research to assemble a "quick fact" research sheet.
3) Put the facts together in first person form.
4) Assembled a period costume and took portraits of each other.
5) Looked through my collection of on line albums to find photos of the site they selected.
6) Created a timeline with several important events related to the site.
7) Used Adobe Photoshop Elements to get creative!

Above are several examples. Aren't these kids amazing?

Hi!
I attended your session at FETC, and I think this is a great example to help students learn! I manage two blogs for our library system, and they've proven to be very beneficial!
I'm also going to China in March - can't wait!

Thanks!
