PhotoStory

**Photo Story** is one of Microsoft's best kept secrets. This free software package can be downloaded from [|Microsoft] and is available on all of the Har Torah laptops.

Using Photostory, you can create slideshows using your digital photos. With a single click, you can touch-up, crop, or rotate pictures, remove red-eye, add stunning special effects, soundtracks, and your own voice narration to your photo stories. Then, you can personalize them with titles and captions. Small file sizes make it easy to send your photo stories in an e-mail or watch them on your TV, a computer, or a Windows Mobile–based portable device.

Photo Story can be a valuable tool to use with students.
