The Uses of Splashr in the Classroom

As I considered the possible uses of a program like Splashr my mind turned to its uses in Communication Studies. The program would be wonderful to use as a first speech. Consider this, you have a student introduce the album they are going to show to the class briefly. From this point on the student simply discusses each photo (who's in it, where they are at, etc.) at the end of the slideshow the student gives a short conclusion. This would help so many students feel more comfortable with speaking to their class, and moreover, it helps the class to get to know one another.
