You and your students can now create your very own google search story with the Google Search Story Video Creator on youtube. Maybe some of you remember Google's popular ad from the 2010 Superbowl, a Parisian love story through a series of google searches. Well, Miss Funkhouser's fifth grade students recently used this tool to tell a digital story about a favorite book. First, the students were shown a few exemplars to get an idea of what makes an effective search story. Then, using a graphic organizer, the students planned their own search stories and discussed their ideas with Miss Funkhouser. Using a class youtube account, each student created a search story that portrayed the important elements from a book of their choice. They were sure to include web, image, and map searches to make their story interesting and also picked an appropriate soundtrack to match the tone of the book. Check out some examples below!
There are many ways this tool can be integrated into the classroom. What are your ideas?
