Begin a new story.

You can rotate pictures, remove black
borders, reorder…

size of letters.
In a simple story I add only background
music – Select music. I prefer to download
free music from www.jamendo.com
Photo Story provides Save Project button at
the bottom of every page. Please use the
button very often! :)
When you save your project, Photo Story

Choose option - Save the project to playback on
your computer. Then Browse button to select
the location of your final project, then click Next
button. Wait for a moment, be patient.
11 Your slideshow is a .wmv file, so you need
to use Windows Media Player to see your story.
Congratulations! Your story is ready!

A Great Choice – Wallwisher
By Cristina Nicolaita, Romania
Wallwisher at http://www.wallwisher.com/ is a Web
2.0 free online tool where anyone can build a
―wall‖. Discussing a new idea? Taking notes?
Giving feedback? Voicing opinion? Wallwisher is
your best choice!
Your students can then go onto the Internet and
stick post-it notes electronically onto your wall. The
notes can include linked pictures, You Tube videos,
PowerPoints, .pdf documents, Excel Spreadsheets,
or web page links.
To build a wall:
Select Build a wall from the top right
menu and create a wall.
Select an image and give your wall a title
and a sub-title.
