1. I used photos from various trips I’ve taken with my mom and created a digital story with Photo Story 3. This was my first time to do something like this and therefore it took me a couple of hours to complete…but I’m glad I’ve learned how and the tutorial was very easy to follow. I spent too much time trying to find just the right music and still didn’t find what I had in mind, but it’s finished.
2. I did not add narration because I don’t have a microphone…unless there is one on the laptop that I don’t know about ;). But I do hope to get one because the students will love being able to narrate.
3. Here is my story… ok, well after trying for over an hour, I then got an error message (with code)saying my photo story could not be uploaded and to report it. My much-more-computer-literate husband told me my file was pretty big,...so I'm going to try it again later (after finishing the other 4 tools) by uploading the photos in a smaller file.
4. Students will love this. It will be a good tool for book reports, projects, digital greetings, reflections and demonstrations. I look forward to incorporating this tool in my classroom.
According to Vaughn, a lot of people have been having difficulty getting their PhotoStory posted (maybe a system problem?). Anyway, I hope you do try again to post yours as I'd love to see what you created. PhotoStory and iMovies will definately bring a new excitment to the old fashioned book reports and projects of the past. Hooray for technology!

I can definitely show it off my computer if all else fails...but I hope I can get it uploaded.
