I would use this slide show to teach a geography lesson. I would probably teach this to a 3rd grade class because they would have to do some research online to find the answers to the clues that are given in the slide show. The pictures shown in the slide show are of places I have visited. After watching the slide show I would have the students research the clue that was given on each slide and try to figure out the place the picture was taken.
The students could then do the same thing. They could upload pictures of places they have been and give clues to the class about each place. If the students haven't traveled they can include pictures of places they would like to go some day. After all the students present they each will have learned about numerous places around the world and a fun fact about each place.
I used animoto to create my slide show. I liked the program because you could add music and change the background of your slides. The only downside to it was you could only make a 30 second video and if you wanted to make it longer you had to pay money. Overall though it seems like a really neat website to use. If I could get my school to pay for it, I would have my students use it all the time.

I think your slideshow is wonderful. Its great that you can show the kids places you have been. A lot of young children don't get to visit those places (a lot of adults don't get to visit those places), so its nice to share those things with your class. Great idea!
