I chose to create a slideshow to illustrate the Human Body Systems for use by my 7th grade Science teachers.  They can use the short clip to introduce this unit to the students.  I'm so excited to learn how to do this.  I'm going to try a vacation slideshow to send to family next.  This could be a great Christmas gift!!!

Creating this was so quick and easy.  It's nice to know you can use different slide show creation sites with Flikr photos or your own personal pics.   This is a great way to introduce lessons or have students create their own slideshows to show what they learned at the end of a theme or lesson.  Since the sites to create are free teachers can allow students to try out their talents creating learning portfolios.   We can also use this on our announcements as we show students all over campus and at school events.
