Photo Story

We recently made a movie using the program Photo Story. I made my movie about World War 1. I found that Photo Story was rather easy to use and I  like it much better than Windows Movie Maker. You can control the pan and zoom much easier and it is easier to upload pictures to. I could use this as a teacher to make different presentations about different subjects. I believe this type of movie would keep childrens attention better than just a regular powerpoint or something you would make with windows movie maker.

Below I have embedded the video that I created.
