Photo Story

I learn some thing new every time I show up to my grad class.  We recently just did a short project using Photo Story 3 for Windows.  This application allows you to upload pictures from your hard drive and create a story with them.  You can add narration, text and different slide transitions.  It seems to be a much simpler application than Moviemaker, but I haven’t had much experience with that yet. 

We are currently working with Magnets and Motors as part of our science unit and I have been taking digital photographs of the different experiments my students have been performing.  Now I am thinking about uploading those pictures and letting my students create a demonstration of one of their projects by using Photo Story.  I think this would be something we could do fairly easily, even if I only do it with one or two of the groups, it will be good experience for them.  Plus, I might be able to get my media specialist to post our projects on the schools web page for the parents to see.  Check back to see finished products!
