It's a fact, children love telling stories. It's also a truism that "a picture tells a thousand words". The latter is particularly so in the area of science. The range of easy to use tools means that capturing digital images is now almost ubiquitous, even the youngest student can now take great images. Through capturing such images, and telling the stories behind the images students can take more ownership of the scientific task much more effectively than ever before. This session will look at a range of tools and applications that can be used by students to tell their science stories digitally as well as examining how the use of images contributes to the science learning process.
