The students made a ginger bread house using their skills to match, sort, measure, follow directions, and work with a partner. The students had a lot of fun. The parents were excited to have a beautiful center piece. ** media type="file" key="gingerbread house story.wmv" width="300" height="300" media type="file" key="drive Phot story our special place.wmv" width="300" height="300" ** Once I figured out how to load this program to my computer, use the program and after having the help desk man come to my classroom twice, I found this program very easy to use. In fact, it was fun to make the photo stories. The photo stories need to be tweaked, but at least I understand the concept. I showed the stories to the class. My students, staff, and volunteers loved it. I don’t think they listened to the narration I really think they liked to see themselves on the screen. Whatever it takes to get my students involved and interested in a lesson or activity I am willing to go the extra mile.
