Photo Story on your wiki

**Photo Story**  is an excellent way for students to make presentations. Inserting photos and then narrating over the top of the photos gives many options for wowing the audience. The customise motion option also enables students to draw the attention of the audience to the appropriate part of the photo. And what better way to share your Photo Storys than to post them on your class Wiki!

**Saving a smaller file** Because you are posting the video online it will need to be a smaller file size. When you are saving your video at the last step click on the settings button. **(See left hand image)** Then change the profile to read "Profile for email - 3 (320X240) **(see right hand image)** Then click "OK" and save the video as normal.

Click on the Insert image and files button in the edit menu. Click on the upload files button. Click on browse to find your video and click on upload to load it to your wiki (Be patient it may take a minute or two). When it appears below the browse window, double click the file to put it on your wiki. Click save and you should be able to enjoy your Photo Story.
 * Loading the video to your wiki **

When i did this on my Mac it did not seem to play the video, or when it did it played the sound but did not show it. The above instructions should work when viewing the wiki with any PC. However if you wish Mac viewers to be able to see it, you may have to convert it inside Movie Maker First. (see the two examples at the bottom of the page). [|Click here to see a short tutorial video on saving a Photo Story in Movie Maker so it will play on a Mac.]
