Photo Story 3 is a free program created by Microsoft. To download click here.

Use Photo Story to create and animate your own movies.

Photo Story effectively adds emotions to your presentations through sound and animations.

Photo Story can be embedded into a powerpoint presentation. Its versatility is great for the classroom.

When creating a Photo Story there are steps that you must take:

• Get the images togethor that you wish to use.
• Use free sites such as goldwave or audacity to convert your music into WAV files.
• Save everything to a folder.
• Begin creating your story.

Movement is an attention getter. Photo Story has many options that will suit almost any user.

Photo Story puts you in control of the classroom.

Many professors believe that focusing has become an issue in the classroom. Photo Story makes presentations interesting and gives the professor control. Students have reacted very strongly to the images and music presented. What was once a dull subject, suddenly has students interested and paying attention.

Have students create their own Photo Story!
