PhotoPeach
PhotoPeach is an online web application that lets users create slide shows with music.
The service allows users to...
- use images from online accounts
(Currently supported online services are Flickr, Picasa and Facebook) and/or computer - add music tracks from YouTube and
- generate slide shows.
There are a number of 'Educational Plusses" for example...
- Captions: Clicking the comment box auto-pauses, while users type, resuming when users type the enter key
- Zoom: clicking an interesting/important part of a phot, causes the player to zoom on that part in future showings
- Privacy: slide shows are not searchable by search engine; if users would like to share a slide show with colleagues and/or tutors etc., they can use the "Click to share" functions; invited people will not be able to see other slide shows. Choosing "Private" for a slide show means only those with invites can see!
- Comments: Visitors who write their names can comment on slide shows without logging in (as a assessor, verifier etc this could save so much time)
Note: Currently the service allows up to 100 photographs per slide show and 100 slide shows per account.
PhotoPeach could be used in so many different ways by both learners and practitioners
