PhotoStory+of+Mac's+summer+-+Cindy+Carpenter

I used PhotoStory to create a story about Mac’s summer. This is a very easy program to use. Younger students would be able to easily upload their photos and add titles to the pages. Music is also easy to add. I had trouble with my microphone and was not able to narrate the pages, but it looks like an easy application. I have had students create a power point presentation about playground safety. This would be an easier program to use – and would be completed sooner than the power point presentations were. You can customize the transitions – I simply centered the beginning and ending spots. Like PowerPoint, you can customize the transitions. I had the soundtrack from Hoot on itunes, so I used “Floriday” by Jimmy Buffett as the background music. There are a few songs in the PhotoStory that sounded nice, too. Overall, it was very easy. I’ll try it with students, for sure.

(How many times did I say "easy"? I guess I was serious.)
