The slideshow has an infinite number of uses, beginning and ending with your creative impulse; but unlike other software that interacts directly with your vision Photo to Movie is easy enough for a sixth grader to learn. Which is why it makes the perfect addition to any classroom. Photo to Movie enables students to learn the basics of digital editing while organizing their research on other topics as well. Whether the task at hand is academic, commemorative, or just for fun, creating a slideshow ensures an easy, educational, and entertaining experience. Photo to Movie can be used to create slideshows for ending semester parties, or DVDs for parents of field trips to the aquarium or pumpkin patch. It can be used to capture the moment of student debates, visual presentations, or PE activities. Or, you could install Photo to Movie in just a few minutes on to your classroom computer and let the students themselves take the helm. All the basics of digital editing-- file importing/exporting, rudimentary cutting with transitions, editing to rhythm, applying motion to a clip -- are learned as one organizes photographs into a slideshow. And what oral presentation wouldn't benefit from documentary-style moving stills? Allow your students to complement their historical, geographical, or political reports with digital photographs and even voice-over narration recorded by the students themselves (all you need is a microphone and an audio jack on your computer)!
