Photo Story 3 Easy for Me

Photo Story 3 seems to be a program that educators are willing to embrace, so I like to let teachers and students know about it! It just might be a way to get educators to use technology in the classroom. Why is there buy-in?

• free- quick download for PC (doesn't seem compatible with VISTA yet?)


• easy to use- step-by-step wizard


• fun!

Although it doesn't allow for complex editing or a lot of creative freedom, it gets the job done. Besides, the less time teachers have to spend on administrative type steps, the more time they have to TEACH. And... because it seems simple, teachers may have the confidence to use it with their students of all ages.

Radio WillowWeb

Whoever heard of Willowdale Elementary School in Omaha, Nebraska? Until they started podcasting, not many. Today it's difficult to talk podcasting without mention of Radio Willow Web. Look them up on iTunes or visit their site Radio Willow Web for a little inspiration.
