Sound in Kidpix 4

A teacher wanted to know if there was a way to add sound and have it play in a slide-show in KidPix 4.  I decided to use one of my new software applications, Jing, in order to create a how-to video for her.  The thought occurred to me that others may want to know the answer as well.  (Excuse the sound quality; I'm sitting in the media center at Sanders Elementary!)

Download the video tutorial to see how to do it.
