Day 22 - PhotoStory

For the last two class periods, we have been working on an assignment in which we were instructed to create an instructional movie using the computer software program PhotoStory. I chose to create my photostory on Christopher Columbus, and my photostory can be viewed by clicking the link below or by watching the embedded version of my photostory. I learned upon the completion of this assignment that this instructional movie that I created is very beneficial, for by using software program PhotoStory, I was able to use pictures and PowerPoint presentation slides to create a movie that can be used as an instructional tool.
