PhotoStory projects

PhotoStory is available on Hillgrove Library computers, but may not be on other school computers or your computer at home.  It is a free download from Microsoft, so if you don't have it just download it!

It is very important to have a drive large enough to hold all your pictures and your PhotoStory project.  Your home drive at school may not be large enough.  So, be sure to have a flash drive before you begin.

Instructions for using PhotoStory are included in this post, but please come visit the library if you need help.  Download Photostory tutorial
