Wow, thanks Pam for this idea. We started a blog for my son, Nevin, to “write” stories with pictures. For our first story, I took pictures during our Nerf Gun shoot-out. And then together we picked out which pictures and together we came up with a sentence for each picture. My goal is that he can become more independent in his “writing” and start coming up with his own sentences. Nevin does not consider himself a “writer” and will often shut down and actually break a cold sweat when asked to write a story. I’m hoping to change his self-perception in this area. He is also enjoying people reading and commenting on his blog about his stories.
We started on the 26th and two weeks later, I am seeing progress. Nevin is excited to upload a story to his blog.

Thanks again for sharing!!

Pam,
I love this idea and I am going to suggest it to teachers and families I work with as a strategy to get their students more involved in a variety of activities. I also really love the communication boards you made–I am definitely going to steal your ideas!

Great project! We have a camp every year where we turn the kids loose with adapted cameras and do similar activities. Last summer they took 2100 photos during the week. They then used the photos to make QT movies, post to a blog, etc… We also had one classroom make an ABC book with photos the kids took throughout our city. Love the visual supports you developed. I had not done the step by step using the visual supports. It is a great idea!!!
Thanks for sharing.
