Project #7 required us to create our own photo story. This photo story is a
story; made up of pictures, narrative, and music. The photo story that I
created was made up of pictures of my family. I decided to make my photo story about
my family because my family is the most important thing in my life. I thought
transferring the story onto a disk would make great presents for the holidays
coming up.
To create my story, I used the program photo story 3 for Windows. In this
program we had to upload pictures and edit the pictures however we desired. We
could also add different motions and music to the story. After I was finished
with my story, I had to make a link in NVU that would navigate people to my
photo story.
This is a great way to facilitate learning in a classroom. The teacher could
use this program to keep a visual of what the children are learning about and
participating in the classroom and show the students parents. Maybe if the students participated in a play,
the teacher could make up a photo story of the play. Also the students could use
this program themselves. The teacher could have the students make their own
story on a topic they are learning in class. Another thing is to let the children
have fun and make a photo story for a gift for someone they are close to, maybe
their parents or grandparents.
