Yes, iPhoto is only available on a Mac platform.

Do you have to work with Mac in order to use iPhoto?
Great idea for all grades.

I like this idea for our youngest students – we do have a portfolio for our EY students right now but this is entirely created by the assistant in each class with photos and movies. This way it seems much easier! Thanks!

I was thinking that you would have to have all the photos on one computer for this to work. Is that what you did?

For kids to have more input into the process they could make a photo book- autoflow for the little kids or kids choose their favourites to insert.

Then either export as a movie or print but as a pdf for parents to view. Kids could have some text to go with it that way.

Looks all professional and hard to do but absolutely dead easy.

Great idea. Would it work even easier with a smart album and faces in iPhoto 09? Something to check out for next year maybe.

We tried used Glogster.com a couple weeks ago and found it very clunky. Would love to see some examples of how you are using it.

Yes for these grades I would suggest a blog where the students are in control of their own content. Tomorrow I’ll write a blog post on what we’re setting up here and how Shanghai American School is using blogs to do this.
