(This is a great question that we will discuss throughout the year!) 2. What if two teams do the same project? (Duplication of projects is not a problem. Teams have their choice of projects to  complete at each session and even if several  teams elect to do similar projects each team will  take its own approach to the project.) 3. How can I save pictures on the hard drive? (To save pictures to the hard drive, or any storage area on the computer, first find the picture you want  to save, right click on the picture if you are using a PC,  if you are using a MAC you will need to hold down the  ctrl key then click on the picture. This will display a drop  down menu. Click on Save As or Save Picture As or Save  Target As from the drop-down menu. A window will  appear listing all the storage areas of your computer  such as the hard drive - which is drive C. To save to the  hard drive click on the icon for drive C. Click on the  particular folder where you want to save the picture and  then click save.) 4. Where can I find more pictures to use? (See the link above for image resources.) 5. How can I put animation on a Photostory/iPhoto? (Photostory and iPhoto use only still photos. The only animation that can be used is the zoom in/zoom out or  pan across effect. If you want to use videos or animation  in your presentations try using MovieMaker for PCs or iMovie  for MACs.) 6. Why can I only use 1 song with iPhoto? (Actually you can use more than 1 song with iPhoto presentations. In order to do so you need to have an iTunes  account and create a playlist of songs in iTunes, then  connect your iTunes playlist with your iPhoto presentation.) 7. Can I use Photostory and iPhoto at home or school? (You can use Photostory or iPhoto with any computer that has the software loaded. iPhoto is included with every MAC  computer and Photostory is a free program that can be  downloaded to your PC from the internet. See the link above  for the download site for Photostory.) 8. What will we learn next? (Voicethread!) || Photostory/iPhoto 2. Review of Photostory/iPhoto 3. Adding text to iPhoto 4.
