Reviews
I have used photo story with my own tamariki at home to support their learning. I have also used it with tamariki in primary and intermedate schools to help them present work on Ngai Tahu History.

PhotoStory3 is a fantastic programme but I have just discovered that it will not work properly in Windows 7. It won't work as part of an upgrade, nor will it install into win7, not even with compatibility modes. (It may work within Virtual PC but that is not useful solution in a primary school)
I still introduce Photostory3 to teachers for use in their classes, but I now have to attach the caveat about Win7. It is a pity as this is such a good programme for children to produce digital stories.Anthony, ICT Lecturer, ECAE
