Tech Exploration - Photo Peach

Photo Peach is a program that is meant to create slideshows easily.  The slideshows can be shared on social media, used on classroom smart boards, and embedded in blogs and on websites. Teachers can create multiple students accounts so that students can create slideshows for presentations, and slideshows can be shared publicly or kept private. The basic version of Photo Peach is free, but if teachers want any form of safety (which really is a must) during searches and sharing, the cost is $9/month for one teacher and fifty students.

I like the idea of students being able to easily create a slideshow that they can share with the class during presentations. In our school, all second graders create an “Animals of Jackson Hole” presentation. For this project, they choose a local animal to research and create a power point presentation. I could see Photo Peach being useful for something like that.


I’m not sure that it’s worth $9/month when things like Power Point are available at no cost. I think it would be easy to use (possibly easier than Power Point) and maybe fun for kids, but I don’t think that I would spend my small budget on this tool.
