Photo Show

This week, I created a photo show using photoshow.com. I created a show about the year my service dog in training, Mango, spent with me learning how to be an assistance dog. I really liked this site! It is quick and simple to use, and seems very user friendly.

I think this particular site would be very useful in a classroom. The simplicity of the website would easily allow younger students to navigate and create their own stories. Using this site would allow students to bring their own personalities and lives into the classroom by sharing their own personal photos. They could, for example, do a slideshow of pictures with captions from their summer vacations, a class project with photos from a field trip, a class slideshow using pictures from the entire year of school, or they could even start learning how to use sights that allow use of licensed pictures and do a project with photos and captions instead of or in addition to a written paper. One of the most positive things about this website is that the subject that the student is presenting on is not limited to actual pictures, they could use other images also to create a presentation about any subject. The only negative thing about this website is that you only are allowed access to your video for one month after creating it, unless you pay for the upgrade. That also goes for the special effects they have; they are limited unless you pay for use of the site.

Overall I think this project was very successful, and could be used in almost any grade level for projects.
