Digital Story through PhotoPeach

Being an Aunt on PhotoPeach

I decided to tell the story of being an Aunt or more the story of watching my niece grow up before my eyes. I never expected to be an Aunt at this age, because I have a twin and a younger sister, so likely it would be me or my twin that would have children first. Though it was unexpected to become an Aunt, watching Tessa grow up has been the highlight of the past two years. She has definitely changed my family's life for the better.
I would have my students use PhotoPeach to make a story about their life, and how they grew up with pictures of them at different ages. It would be a good way to show a timeline of their life. We would then present the life stories to the rest of the class, so that the class can get to know each other as well as to give me information about my student's backgrounds and lives. 
The program was simple to use especially if the pictures are already on the computer and you can just download them to PhotoPeach. I tried to have PhotoPeach find my facebook photos cause it has that  option, but there was a problem so it didn't work out. I just downloaded the photos from my computer and found it easy to follow the step by step instructions. Very basic and user friendly. I wish it was a little more advanced though, so that you could change the text and such. But I enjoyed it.
