Photo Booth Tutorial

Last week I taught a workshop on using technology with social studies, and since then I’ve gotten several emails with questions about using Photo Booth. Photo Booth is a great program for teaching social studies in particular because students can put themselves into a historical picture using screenshots and backgrounds. However, it can be confusing. So I created a video and a handout that you can find by clicking here. Each step of the process is broken down into short 2-3 minute video segments so you can just watch the part that you need. I’ve also included several student samples showing how Photo Booth can be used effectively to teach content and assess learning. You may want to click the photobooth tag over on the right of this blog to read more about the various projects. Let me know if you have any questions, and if you teach a lesson using Photo Booth share it with me!
