I wrote about PhotoPeach last month. Since then, I’ve very much enjoyed “playing” with PhotoPeach as I’ve created several “stories” with my own photos. I especially like PhotoPeach for multimedia creativity because it is so easy to learn and use and because text captions are such a straightfoward option. These two factors make PhotoPeach an especially attractive multimedia option for the classroom.
Now I have a new reason to be enthusiastic about PhotoPeach. I’ve discovered the PhotoPeach Quiz–and figured out how to create quizzes. Although the quizzes are easy to create and to use, it wasn’t quick and easy for me to figure out where to go to create them. There is nothing on the start page to direct you to a quiz option. You only discover the quiz feature in the process of editing a PhotoPeach story that you’ve already created. I’ll include some ‘how-to’ screen shots at the bottom of this post.
I’ve embedded below a short quiz that I put together with Creative Commons photos from Flickr. Rather than trying to describe how it works, you can see for yourself.
After registering for a free account, here’s what you do to create a quiz in PhotoPeach.
1. Upload your photos from your computer, or import them from elsewhere on the Internet.
2. Arrange your photos as you want them.
3. Give your quiz a title, add a description, and select musical accompaniment if you want it. Then click the Finish button.
4. Your “finished” story will begin playing, but you must scroll down below it. If you wish your quiz to be public, you must select “public” under ‘Edit (owner options). Since you are creating a quiz, you must click on the link ‘Arrange Photos & Edit Caption’.
4. You will now be given the opportunity to create your quiz with the ‘Quiz’ button. There process is straightforward after you click on this button.
