I enjoyed learning about Photostory. I had heard of it at school but had not taken the time to pursue it. It was very easy to use and I think it would be a great program to teach kids. I created a short piece of the new bluebonnets that I can use to introduce them. I even used the music creator that is part of Photostory so that I could check it out to see if it would be good for students. Overall, a good program.
I will use my 07-08 Bluebonnet photostory to introduce the books. I think it would be fun to show the video and then ask the students to write down the books that “caught their eye” and that they think they would like to read. It would be a good chance to talk about choosing a book for its cover then needing to investigate further before checking it out (reading the blurb, etc.).
