today was focused on our photo story presentation. i found this program very interesting. it will be useful for my chosen career. this program will help me to educate my students in an interesting, fun and interactive way. the children remained interested in the lesson and i believe this will enhance the childrens learning.

this program i can use when teaching as i will be able to enhance the childrens learning and make the classes fun through creating a story or lesson out of photos.

both of these programs will be useful when teaching, as they can be used a tool when teaching!

however, once it was explained i understood exactly what i was doing.  this lesson was extremely helpful and i will use the skills learnt in this lesson when im in the workforce as a teacher as a  useful tool to recorded marks.
