I am not having much luck with either of these. I don't think I have the right equipment and / or software. I have know microphone except in my
webcam and I don't seem to have what I need to create a
photostory with music or sound. I downloaded
Photostory 3 and used it to create
photostory with our Disney World pictures. by closing the program and reopening it, I was finally able to work with the slide transitions, but when I tried to add music, it got messed up. The story gets stuck on the 1st slide while all of the music plays, which you can't even hear because I was trying to use my
webcam microphone. Furthermore, I was in narration edit, because I don't have any music buttons what so ever. This is not the
photostory program I have used in the past at school. It is simply, insert photos, type a title, make them transition and maybe add narration. I've gone to the help documents, but they say to click on the buttons I don't have in my applications. I spent about 7 hours working on this project, but gave up
about 3am this morning. I will go on and finish the rest of the things, and will try to come back to this one. I'm too frustrated right now. Terri
Finally, on my third attempt, I think I may have it down! I went and got my school laptop, downloaded
photostory 3 on it and I think it will work, even though I did it all by myself. So here goes....
If this one works, I'm ready to create a photostory showing 3rd -5th graders the procedures and sequence for checking out their own books at the circulation computer, and a photostory giving a tour of the library, since it has been totally redone this summer with shelves being moved, sections being integrated and a whole new theme. Even though my brain has been stretched to its limits, it is still coming up with more ideas for the use of photostory in the library. (How about showing how to cite a book from the library or -wait this is good - how about showing students step by step how to create a photostory of their research. No, not good, they probably already know how to do it!) Anyway, I'm not frustrated anymore!
