The Microsoft Photo Story is a great software, that can be used by all ages. A lesson in QA can be enhanced with this software, and it can turn out to be fun, creative, and can be useful for projects, and lessons.





For IT we used the Photo Story to collect photos of something that is important in Qatar. Our group chose to do the Moto GP race that had just happened about half a year ago. We got pictures from the Internet, and put them on MS Photo Story. Then we created the Photo Story, recorded our voices, played around with the images, and at the end put music that matched up with the Photo Story.



A lesson in QA would be great with the Microsoft Photo Story. You could use it for many tasks such as creating a slideshow for a presentation in class, small kids can use it for showing how a tadpole turns into a frog, or such things. The big kids can use it for CAS projects, or in class they can use it for doing a project about a certain object by collecting pictures about it, and then presenting it in class. That way students get a more clear idea about that thing. And they also enjoy its creativity.



All students wouldn't need one, but they can get one if they want because it is free, and downloadable. Students can work in pairs or in groups, so all of them won't need one. But if all the students have to create their own they would need one for themselves. I myself think that all students should have one, because then they can all experience the creativity, and play around with it so they can do the project, and also have fun.



This technology/software can improve lessons by alot. Instead of students just writing essays and making posters for every project, they can use this software and make their project more interesting and creative. The teacher can also use it to show soething important, or show them a few photos about aomething. Instead of plain photos, they can have a creative show to watch.
