If you don’t have a mac with iPhoto, or you’re  looking for programs to create slideshow in your classroom, use good ‘ol PowerPoint.  Yeah, teachers do overuse it, and it’s been around forever, but you might not have noticed the little feature that lets you import pics in one shot – with a slideshow created for you!  Go to Insert>Photo Album then locate your pictures on the computer and hit create.

With the ease of this program, elementary students can take pictures for a project and put them in independently.  There are options for inserting text to make it more instructional, and you can even make all photos B&W with one click.
