I created a little "movie" using Visual Communicator. This movie includes photos, a harmonica improvisation, and a narration by my son, Charlie.

I imported his harmonica theme and voila:
The following example uses a free service, Slide, to create a slide show (can also be formatted as single images which fade up, twirl up etc.
Desert Slide Show(As part of Biome Unit)
As part of our library program this year -- Stories Around the World -- we will study geography, learn about other cultures etc. We'll also do a little research project on biomes and how the environment where people live plays a part in shaping culture.
I went to Pics4Learning and chose the biome category. I downloaded pics to my computer and then uploaded them to Slide to create my pic show -- grabbed the code which Slide provides and will add that code to my Project Organizer. I could have created this slide show using my Dreamweaver Studio tools -- but this was fun, easy and accessible to everyone! (Note! There is a downside to using these online services - If Slide goes out of business or starts charging, I've lost my show.)
I pasted the code for my Desert Slide Show in this page to show you the slide show I created with desert pics. Of course, I could grab pictures from other sources and integrate them into this show. Once you create a show on Slide, you can go back and edit it -- add more pics etc
