iPhoto project ideas

CreateCreate a sample back to
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.
