PhotoStory

At the end of the day yesterday I showed you PhotoStory... Just google the name and it will come up or here is the link to the website http://tiny.cc/Photostory610

PhotoStory is wonderful free software which enables you to turn a collection of digital photos into a "video" complete with your own narration, text and music background.
It is lots of fun and very easy to use...

It could be a great tool for the classroom with students of all ages for a variety of purposes, and in the library maybe for doing book reviews ? It could be a good resource to promote to families in the school newsletter too perhaps ?

There is a guide to making a video using a single photo which is also very effective, if a bit more complex ! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/tips/create.mspx
