Podcast Creation - GarageBand '09
Take poetry to a new level! Users will use an audio application to produce a podcast of themselves narrating a piece of poetry. They will locate or create a music track to accompany their poem, and also import images they have found to add a visual component to the podcast. Finally, they will export their podcast so that it can be shared with others on the Web or as a standalone presentation.

Creating a Photo Book - iPhoto '09
For this project we will be using multimedia software to create a photo book. We’ll begin by importing digital images into a photo editing application and organizing the photos in an album. We’ll choose a theme for the photo book and create the book pages. Images will be added to the book, resized or cropped, and positioned for best effect on the pages. We’ll add and format text for titles and image descriptions. Photo books can be used for simply sharing photos, but can also tell a story about an important event or experience, or provide a way to share information gained through research. Our Wildflowers photo book might be part of a botany or biology presentation. This project can be easily adapted to suit any subject area, just by choosing appropriate images and other content for documenting a specified topic.
