The Big Ideas I got from this weeks blog post is that digital story telling is a fun form of presenting information. It is like telling a story to someone over the phone with accompanying snapshots of each event. I think that this could be a good resource to share among teachers because teachers could swap lessons or presentations that utilize digital stories. Also the constant transition between audio and photo if done well does a good job of maintaining the viewers attention.
Educational applications could to present information to students using this medium such as a lesson. However, I think it would be entirely too time consuming and take up valuable class time to have the children to construct a story of their own. I had a difficult time getting my microphone to register enough of my voice to be heard over the music. It would seem that there would be endless problems having the students make their own.
One thing I was curious about was the fact that the program seemed to insert a small transition of silent audio between slides. Is there anyway to control that, or was I just too slow clicking the stop recording button.

I think that little gap in the audio between slides is from the time it takes to click the Stop button. A way to get around that is to record the audio contiguously in Audacity then add it to the images as an MP3 file. Every application will have its drawbacks, and that is one for Photo Story 3.
