Top 5 Slideshows

We've been exploring various 2.0 tools in Grade 1 and have particularly enjoyed creating slideshows. These presentations are fantastic additions to our classroom because they're user-friendly, visually engaging, and our students absolutely adore them.

Here are some quick examples to showcase the power of these slideshows. (Prepare to meet my adorable furry companion in My Top 5 Slideshows!)

1. Photoshow is a delightful tool for crafting engaging presentations. With its diverse themes like spring, outer space, and old films, it offers plenty of creative possibilities. Additionally, it boasts features such as speech bubbles, stickers, and animations to add flair to your show!

2. Animoto offers incredible slide transitions synchronized with the music. The pace adjusts according to the tempo of the music, creating dynamic visual effects. I particularly admire the text transitions in Animoto. However, one downside is that it can take quite a while for Animoto to process the show.

3. PhotoPeach provides a user-friendly platform for students to create slideshows quickly. The presentations are ad-free, and the creation and processing time are minimal, making it a convenient option for classroom use.Princess Scoutie on PhotoPeach


4. Slide allows for easy creation of slideshows with the freedom to add numerous photos at no cost. However, the presence of advertisements detracts from the overall experience.



5. Domo Animate Slideshow is a fun way to present photos. You can use templates including Willie Nelson to jazz up the show.
