= Introduction: =  PhotoPeach is a Web 2.0 tool that allows educators and students to create, collaborate, and share slideshows. PhotoPeach offers the ability to upload photographs, customize slideshows with music and transition effects, as well as create quizzes, add captions, and share creations through the use of the web. PhotoPeach would be a great advantage for any classroom !

= Incorporating PhotoPeach into Your Classroom: = PhotoPeach could be incorporated into a classroom in several ways. A teacher could use it to bring a unit or chapter to a close by composing a slideshow of student work and involvement and sharing it with the class, school, or even district. PhotoPeach has the capabilities to customize slideshows into quizzes that could be used as an independent group workstation at a computer or SmartBoard! Students could even create their own slideshow presentations about specific topics or subjects, choosing custom graphics, content, and background music.

PhotoPeach is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. There are tons of examples of ways PhotoPeach has been used, which gives users a multitude of possibilities.

One way that I thought this might really be neat to use within a classroom is by assigning each student a PhotoPeach project that may be presented at Parent/Teacher Conferences. This may include personal goals/strengths, learning styles that the student has come to find works best for him or her, grades, attendance, classroom work ethic, work that has been accomplished, etc. The boundaries for this type of project would be endless!

Check out this PhotoPeach Slideshow from a class on Problem Solving! What a great idea to end a unit and create a lot of reflection and discussion!
