What is a Photostory?

A Photostory is created through Photostory 3 for Windows (a freedownload @ http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/photostory/default.mspx). It is a way for students and teachers to display information through photos, which create a story. Music and other special personalizations can be added to the Photostory to make it more of a personal experience for the creator and the readers of the story. Photostories will be used to depict the lives and music of many famous Bluegrass muscians, as well as a possible timeline of Bluegrass music. Students can use their creativity to make a personal Photostory representing anything they have learned through our journey down Bluegrass lane and then post it to the blog to share with everyone!
