TPACK questions for Digital Storytelling Assignment

Content
What is the content you will be using in your lesson?
The content for this lesson is drawn from the Utah state core for the 3rd grade found at http://uen.org/core/. The specific objectives are: Standard 1-Objective 2- Indicator B: "Use a variety of formats (e.g., drama, sharing of books, personal writings, choral readings, informational reports) in presenting with various forms of media. " and Standard 8-Objective 6- Indicator A: "Produce personal writing" and F: "Share writing with others using illustrations, graphs, and/or charts to add meaning".
Pedagogy
What is the pedagogy you will be using and why is it a good fit with your content?
The teacher will discuss with the students the various types of stories- narrative, choral, informational, fiction, fantasy, traditional, etc. Examples of these and other types of stories will be given. They will see the various ways to tell stories and how other people do it. They will then come up with their own story- assisted if needed. It will help them to think creatively and show their original ideas. It fits great with the content because it helps them assist in writing their own stories with pictures to go along with their story.
Technology
What is the technology you will be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy?
We will be using the program PhotoStory. This will help the children load their illustrations and their text onto the computer. It also will allow for them to narrate their own stories in their own voices. This fits with the content because it allows them to create and tell their own story through a certain type of media being presented and also to create it themselves and illustrate it to enhance the story. This technology also fits with the pedagogy because it allows for them to pick a type of story and create it themselves using this program and see more in a more in-depth way how a story works. They can also view each others digital stories and see what other types of stories other students did.
