My Experience with PhotoShow

For this second emergent technology project, I explored several of the options before choosing to use PhotoShow. I love photos and almost always have my camera with me, so this was a very fun project for me. PhotoShow allows you to upload photos and then they will put them into a slide show for you. You can then add captions, music, etc. I did find it at times frustrating, because a lot of the options could only be used if you paid for them. I thought PhotoShow was very user friendly, and it didn't take me very long at all to make my photo slide show that I was pleased with. Once my pictures were uploaded I could choose from about 10 different themes and rearrange my photos to the order I wanted. I liked how they had all the photos below and you could just move them to the place you wanted. I also, liked how you could preview your show right on that screen after each change you made.

I would recommend using PhotoShow as a way to show off your pictures to friends and family. I will definitely use PhotoShow or something like it in my future classroom and now for personal projects. Since I take so many photos, I am always looking for a new way to share them with people. For a school setting I could see using this to show highlights from the year to parents or pictures from a field trip or play to the students and parents. Pictures are a great way to capture the moment and remember all that went on, and PhotoShow provides you with an easy way to display and share them. I was very impressed with PhotoShow and would even consider paying for it in the future to complete a larger project.
