Flickr Slide Show
Created with Admarket's flickrSLiDR.
I like this tool because I think it could be successfully used in classrooms of all ages. For the younger kids you could have them take the photos and you could set everything up. Or you could have them help you organize the "story" by using Elmo to project the program to the entire class. Then you could play your slide show for the whole class to see. The older students could use this program on their own (with some instruction) to tell a story, explain steps in a science experiment, or even just be creative with in art class.
I feel very comfortable with this project as it is pretty much self explanatory. I really like that it is so easy to organize your photos within the set so they are all in order for the slide show when you are finish. The only thing I can see going wrong with this project is that students might go overboard (like I did) with too many pictures.

Becca, I think I'll send you some dog harnesses(first we'll wash them about ten times.) I've heard that Valdez is the snowfall capital of the world, which I found hard to believe, but true. Really cool pics and Jake looks like an old pro with the "log splitter." I've never heard of it, but my late dad used to cut/split all our wood by saw and axe. hmm might have to buy one for my hubby for xmas. Thanx for sharing, now I've seen something from places we've never had a look at before.
I don't think you can put too many pictures in a slide show. These are great photos and a wonderful narrative. I like your suggestions about using Flickr Slidr with younger students. They might not be able to handle this from scratch (especially since it involves having access to a Flickr account) but they could certainly participate in most of the building and commenting on the slides.
