The way I went about making this was to find pictures and put them into Microsoft Powerpoint, once I had my 20 pictures in on 20 different slides I saved in a jpeg format. I, then, downloaded PhotoStory and imported the 20 picture slides that I saved and created a photo story customizing my motion and timing and adding voice. So I set it to no motion and 20 seconds per slide, then put my voice recording over each slide and saved it into yet another format, .wmv, so that I could upload the video to YouTube.
I found this assignment to be fun, even though I dont like hearing my voice recorded and played back. I enjoyed looking for pictures and putting narrative with them and hope that using fun pictures can keep the attention of students. I would use this again in the future and I believe it is a fun way to learn about things for students. Students like videos and pictures and any break from the common lecture, notes, homework routine.
