This document provides instructions for teachers on how to create a Photo Story lesson using Microsoft's Photo Story 3 program. It begins with an introduction on the goal of teaching teachers how to download and use the free Photo Story program. It then lists 10 steps to guide teachers through creating their own Photo Story project, including downloading the program, importing pictures, arranging the pictures, adding titles and narration, adding background music, and saving and viewing the completed story.

Step 4 Magic Key #3- Select the right content for each learner. This presentation will be meaningful for the learner/teacher because they will be choosing their own pictures, graphics, etc. to design their own lesson. For instance, a 2 nd grade teacher will choose something different than a high school teacher. This example lesson will be based on Presidents. Depending on grade level, the learner can go as in depth as needed for their lesson.
Step 5 Magic Key # 5- Have the learner perform multistep tasks The learners will go through the steps and make a lesson using Photo Story 3. They can decide which direction of the “Presidents” they want to take their lesson. This is also depending on their grade level. They can choose a particular president, President’s Day, or other curriculum activities including presidents.

Step 10 Magic Key #6- Provide intrinsic feedback Learners can see their own creations and share with others their project.
Magic Key #7- Delay judgment Have the learners review their work and make and changes they need after viewing their show before they share with other learners.
Magic Key #2 Put the learner at risk For an extra fun activity, have them play the game “If You Were President”. This goes through choosing carefully a team of advisors, balancing the budget, interviewing with reporters and ends with a printable newspaper article with your name and story of your presidency.
