Using iphoto in the classroom
I really enjoyed making my book using iphoto, but it would have been really frustrating if I hadn't had someone to ask my frequent questions. I think it is simple enough to use with third and fourth graders, but I would expose them to it quite a bit before I turned them loose to use it on their own. If I had a projecter in my classroom, I would create books as a class three or four times, making sure I told my students how I was doing things and where I was finding the tools as I did it. I might then let them try it on their own, but I would probably try to do it a few at a time so that I could help them as they have questions.

I think that is a really great idea to use a projector to show the students how to make a photo book first. Especially showing them specifically where each tool is as you use it. I am glad you enjoyed iPhoto! I struggled with it. :)
I agree with you. Photo book is simple but third and fourth grades would need to have a lot of exposure to it before being left to do a project on their own.
