For Social Studies, we do units on community workers, historical figures, different cultures, and holiday customs. The children can develop marvelous Power Points. The students would use point and shoot cameras to photograph the community volunteers who visit our school. They record and present their Power Points about the policemen, firemen, teachers, etc. that they actually know!
For the precious art work that children produce is often large and cumbersome. The students could make a slide show by using photographs of their art. We study different artists during the year and create pieces of art in the artists' styles. These could be photographed and/or scanned. Then the students orally record their slide show about different artists, styles, or media developed to provide information.
We would showcase the finished product to the parents and other students.

Comments
I hope to close the achievement gap, raise self-esteem and teach media technology to all my students.
