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.
