Greg Paulsen uses iStopMotion with his second grade class to create two movies: The first movie is about a famous movie dog named Rin Tin Tin. The students read a story about him and then tried to retell it in the movie. Later the class has been studying about dinosaurs - the subject of their second movie "Dino Land".

DRM Free Music in iTunes Store
by Oliver - Tuesday, April 03, 2007 - Permalink
Apple and EMI today announced that they will sell EMI's catalogue of hit music through iTunes DRM free. We are very happy about this announcement, because it could mean that FotoMagico customers could use songs they purchased from the iTunes Store in FotoMagico presentations in the future. Of course DRM free does not mean that the songs can be freely used, but in the past, the iTunes Terms of Service specifically allowed use of iTunes files in projects created with iLife and other apps for private purposes. We will have to see if that changes once the songs are available.
