I really like to use Photostory and would like to use it more in the library and with kids as they do presentations other than PowerPoint. Photostory is easy to teach and has so many great features! In this age where kids regularly see such professionally done entertainment via animated movies and 3D presentations at IMAX, allowing them to use a tool like Photostory really makes them feel like they are doing something current and meaningful!
Some tips for making it easy are to have the kids already choose their images ahead of time, and for them to make a story board if they want to add text. Having some time to choose music and deciding if there will be narration ahead of time are big time savers too. One of the greatest things about Photostory is that a project can be finished in a silent mode, or one can add in music or narration. One can also add transitions and the like to make the show more spectacular. This ability to add on bells and whistles let the quick kids add to their project and the slower kids finish a wonderful project without the bells and whistles at the same time!
