Photostory

We have Photostory on our computers at school. I was surprised to learn I could download it for free and use it on my home computer. At the end of the last school year, I was in charge of a grade level week-long camp that created Photostories on different places. I had no experience with it before that time. It's easy to use, and the older students I was working with then really got into it and created some wonderful videos.

I chose to do my Photostory here on Hawaii. In the spring we study Hawaii, and I have a lesson that deals with making tikis. The Photostory provides the atmosphere for the lesson. It has Hawaiin music and pictures of places and things related to Hawaii. Photostory is pretty easy to use. It requires little prep. time or explanation. I will use it for various projects throughout the year. I will also use it to create personal Photostories. It's so great to have technology that uses your pictures and music to create somethign that can be enjoyed for years to come.
