Sometimes called PowerPoint on steroids, Photostory 3 is an excellent educational technology tool for students. Created by Microsoft and freely available, this program allows users to take still images, add narration, text, and a variety of effects, transitions, and music to create impressive multimedia presentations. One of the most attractive features is the Ken Burns effect: students can create zooms and pans that highlight selected portions of the image or add artistic expression to their project.

This is a great tool. Thank you for sharing it. I have used this in the classroom and my students take to it very quickly.
