DEEP ZOOM
Creating your first Deep Zoom When thinking about using Deep Zoom in the classroom, it's a good idea to think about the context in which it will be used. This helps with the planning of stories and what images need to be collected. An ideal starting point is a trip to a museum, historical site or building. Deep Zoom Composer divides the creation of a Deep Zoom into three sections: To begin, make sure that your students have planned an outline for their stories. This will guide them on the photos they need to capture. Their ideas will obviously evolve and develop as they find out more during the activity. My simple story will focus on the activities that people performed in their houses in the past. The images you use don’t have be taken with a digital camera. They be sourced from photo sharing web sites, screen captures, image scans or created in a paint package. But they must be in JPEG format.
 * **Import -** where the images that are going to be used are selected.
 * **Create -** where images can be positioned, resized, zoomed in and out and embedded.
 * **Export** - where you are able to view your Deep Zoom and publish it in a number of different formats, including to your local hard drive.
