Group 5/6

* Start by logging into http://www.weebly.com/ -- navigate to your blog page, and create a new entry. Today's entry is: Why is it important for schools, librays, etc to block (filter) some Web sites. Be creative, and think outside of the box here.

* Instruction: Screencast introduction of PhotoStory 3

* Lab: Practice DST by creating a very small show. Lab limitation: we do not have headphones or microphones, yet. Focus on inserting photos, titles, and telling the story.

* You will need to createa folder on your desktop called DST Practice (right click on desktop New Folder Type the name)

* Save these images to that folder on the desktop (right-click, "Save Picture as"):

  2. Image 2
  3. Image 3
  4. Image 4
  5. Image 5
  6. Image 6
  7. Image 7
  8. Image 8

* Click on PhotoStory from the desktop, insert the saved photos, and add a "tag line for each story" -- When you are done, you may export it, and then I'd like you try t upload it to your http://www.weebly.com/ as a second blog entry, and add it as an attachment (under multimedia!)

This is my example, silly, but it worked!
