Digital Camera-Future Usage 2nd Photo Story

As we sat in our work session today, I was contemplating how I would use the digital camera for student use. I would like to break students into groups and have them use photo story to complete an activity on themselves. We are currently in the non-fiction unit and something autobiographical in nature might work. I asked students if they had any suggestions as to how we could accomplish such a task in groups and some suggested breaking in to groups based on common experiences. I would then need photo story installed on the classroom computers because they would need full autonomy in working on the project. I see this option as too time-consuming so I may have to think of an alternate activity.
