iPhoto project ideas

• Create a sample back to school slideshow using iPhoto, web images and classroom photos
• A slideshow could be used effectively for young students and especially special education resource students in the following way. Take digital photos of the school building, playground, main office, nurses’ office, gym, music room, art room, and library and import them to iPhoto to create a slideshow. It would be helpful to have photos of the teachers and staff members who work in those places as well. This would be a good visual way to introduce students to their school environment. It could also be customized for individual students by including their classroom teacher, reading teacher and support personnel as well.
• Create a book in iPhoto and save as a PDF
• Use Photo Booth to create a school year welcome video to use on your teacher website or in slideshow or add it to the beginning of your back to school slideshow.
• Make a student card (younger students can use the speech to text function to "write" their card (model for students to send home first week)

• Find and address a state standard
• Use Safari to search for images
  Download 10-12 photos that help teach the standard
• Import the photos into iPhoto
• Create a slideshow of the images
• On your title page include the standard you are addressing
• Include captions on each photo
• Share out

• "Goals for School Year"--use Photo Booth to take video, send to iPhoto, share out as a video for back to school night
• Students use iPhoto to create a class alphabet book.
  Each student is assigned a letter and uses a digital camera to take photos of objects to include in the book
