Photo Story 3

I just went to a workshop that introduced me to photo story 3. This is a Microsoft program that you can download for FREE! It is very user friendly, and the website gives you great ideas for activities you can do with this program.
During the workshop we were able to insert images of our students work, select music, add our voice, and type print to create a fun story that we could put on disc for parents and students.
Some of the teachers in the workshop were going to use this program to put together a Father's Day disc with a collection of pictures, and the student's voice giving sweet messages to Dad.
There was also an example of a grade one class who wrote and illustrated stories, then transfered the stories to photo story 3. They were able to record their voice reading the story and put it on disc.
I plan on using this program to create a digital portfolio for my students. I can insert photos and student work using their voices and music! Oh the possibilities! I have attached the website that offers the free download and great ideas! Enjoy!
