Presentation for ICE 2011

2.  As stated on Millie Furman's website,
"Photo Story 3 is one of Microsoft's best
kept secrets!"
 Photo Story is a FREE program offered by
Microsoft® that allows you to create your
very own digital stories! Many refer to it
as making your own slide show. I like to
move away from the "slide show"
wording and simply say your own digital
story/movie.

3. A way to tell a story through images, sound
and/or narration.

4.  Introduce a new topic
 Share daily events with parents
Social Studies:
 Timeline of events
 Photo story of a historical event
 Photo story of a historical figure
Science
 Tell about a topic using pictures

5. Math
 Have students teach a math concept
with images and narration
Language Arts
 The new book report!
Health
 Have students teach the class about
health and wellness

6.  Images
 Music
 Narration
 Sound

7.  Images can be found in many places.
Most students go straight to Google and
do a Google image search. Make sure
to remind students that they MUST give
credit to the owner of the image (cite
sources at the end using a credit roll)

8.  Narration can be recorded right in the
Photo Story program!
 Just make sure you have a microphone!

9. Once again – make sure you tell your
students to give credit to the owner of
images, music, sounds that they
“borrow” for their projects.
Where to find music/sound:
 CD‟s
 Online

10. It‟s easy to find free sounds by visiting
www.freesound.org.
OR --- something fun to teach students is to
create their own sounds! To create your
own sounds you will need a sound
recording/editing program. I use
Audacity.

11.  Make sure you have Photo Story 3
downloaded and installed.
 http://www.microsoft.com/download/e
n/details.aspx?id=11132
 Choose a topic
 Find images, sounds, etc..

12.  Download image and sound files from
Presentation website:

13. Unfortunately, Photo Story does not have
the option to create a title for your
presentation. You can create your own
title several ways:
 Use Paint to create an image
 Use PowerPoint
Remember – whatever you create you
must save as an image file:
jpg, png, gif, etc.

14.  Open PowerPoint
 Create the “slide” you wish to become
an image
 Once satisfied – you will save your work

15.  Click on the MOB (Microsoft Office
Button in Office ‟07 and later) or File in
versions prior to „07

16.  Choose Save As:

17.  Change the file type to either:
JPEG, PNG, or GIF

18.  You will then be asked to save current
slide or entire presentation. This is your
choice – if you are working with one slide
only then choose that – if you have
created several slides you wish to turn
into images, choose entire presentation.

20. When you have saved your PowerPoint as an
image PowerPoint creates a folder, named the
same as the file name you gave. Inside that
folder will be your newly created images that
can be imported into PhotoStory.

21.  Begin New Story

22.  Make sure you have already gathered all
he images you will be using.

23.  Rearrange the order
 Change look
 Add text
 Reduce red eye

24.  Just left click and drag – don‟t let up on the left
button while dragging
 Find where you want it – and drop it in place

25.  Change the picture to black/white or
other neat effects

30.  Make sure you have a microphone
Click on the RED
circle and begin
recording.

32. Make sure you save TWO ways:
1. Save as a project
