    Carrie, great use of photos; I like it very much!

    Wow, beautiful use of photos! The music choice is excellent. I had a hard time reading through some of the text before the next slide came up.

    Great photos and music choice! Images do say a thousand words. I, too, didn't get the longer scripts read before the next one came up. Also, what about having some of the photos just being close up still shots (instead of zooming in) to change it up. It's nicely done!

    Great job, this will do very well at IVIE. I did not have enough time to read the text on many slides as well. The music should extend to the end and very a few shot as mentioned above and you will have a great project.

    I agree with the above comments, great pictures and moving music. Someone mentioned to vary the motion of the pictures. I would agree with that. A very effective presentation. Maybe you can add a voice over some of the sections to add variety.
    Good job!

    Very educational. Even I learned something I didn't know. As a tool in the classroom, here are my suggestions: lengthen the time allowed to read the text. Use a couple of other kinds of transitions to mix it up a bit. If you can find them, add more pictures with children so they can connect more to the experience. The last few shots with multiple pictures on the screen was a cool effect, can you run your titles along the bottom? nice work!
