Unit II--Lesson I--Importing Images with Microsoft Photo Story
In this unit, we will be making a sample digital story called "How to Grow a Flower." As we learned in Unit I, we must use images to create such a story. When creating a digital story using Microsoft Photo Story, the first step is to import the images that you would like to use. Images are imported into Microsoft Photo Story by clicking the program's Import Pictures option. For the purpose of our sample digital story, we will be importing the images provided below.
Image 1 
Image 2 
Image 3 
Image 4
Image 5 
Before importing the above images, we must first make sure they are saved. We will be saving them in a new folder that we will create on the desktop. To do this, go to the desktop and right click on the screen. When the box appears, scroll down to New and then over to Folder. A folder should appear on your desktop. Name this folder DS Images.
Now, right click on Image 1. When the box appears, scroll down to Save Picture As. The Save As window should open. In the Save In box, navigate to the DS Images folder you created. Go down to file name and the name of the file "Flower" will already appear. Click Save. Repeat this procedure for all of the images.
