I had a great time using Windows Photo Story. I was already familiar with Windows Movie Maker, which is a more complex program, but essential for creating more sophisticated digital stories.
I found Photo Story to be somewhat limited in its editing capabilities, but perfect for someone wanting to make a quick, good looking, digital story. However, I still spent almost two days creating my slide show for this assignment, but that's just me!
Photo Story is very user friendly, and would be appropriate for elementary students. The final result is similar to a project created with Animoto, but with Photo Story, you do all of the work yourself, and therefore have more control over the final result.
In my art room, I could use Photo Story to create eye catching introductions to new artists, styles, or lessons. It would also be a great way for student's to make digital portfolios of their artwork. They could conceivably end up with a slide show highlighting every piece of art created in my classroom, over several years.
For this assignment, I created a digital story about some of the projects created in my classroom. It highlights several student examples, from every grade level. I am planning on having it play during Back To School night, Curriculum Night, or Meet the Teacher.
