You can't use it to mix your band's new demo. What Soundslides does is make it easy for you to present your images with impact, then sync them seamlessly with any audio track. With Soundslides Plus, you can even skip the sound and just focus on the images. |

Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling
http://digitalstorytelling.coe.uh.edu/ Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling Digital Storytelling is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. As with traditional storytelling, most digital stories focus on a specific topic and contain a particular point of view. However, as the name implies, digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music. We invite you to explore the resources on this website and contact us if you have questions, comments, or ideas about the Educational Uses of Digital Storytelling. |

With nothing more than a bunch of photos, Photosynth creates an amazing new experience. Photosynth is a potent mixture of two independent breakthroughs: the ability to reconstruct the scene or object from a bunch of flat photographs, and the technology to bring that experience to virtually anyone over the Internet. Photosynth installs two programs on your computer: a Web browser plug-in for viewing synths, and an application (called "Photosynth") for creating them. |

Heekya is Social Storytelling
http://www.heekya.net/ Heekya is Social Storytelling A story creation tool that doesn’t require direct social interaction but taps into the web community as a whole for the rendering of a given project, which can be created and recreated over and over again, by any number of users. In the video below, Heekya gives the example of a friend’s wedding, which is documented by the bride and groom and filled with photos, text and videos. For the collaborative bit, guests from the wedding can take the Heekya story created by the bride and groom, and add their anecdotes, images, and videos as well. From this stance, a story can be recreated from several different vantage points, and distributed through multiple channels as a custom narrative by each person. |

We Tell Stories
http://wetellstories.co.uk/ We Tell Stories has been - and still is - an interesting challenge, because what we’re trying to do is tell stories in a way that can only be told online. We aren’t adapting stories - we’re working with authors to create entirely new stories that are native to the web. The first is by Charles Cumming, the best-selling thriller writer. Called The 21 Steps and inspired by John Buchan’s The 39 Steps, the story is told through Google Maps. The reader follows the trail on the map as the protagonist tells his story. How might you do this in the classroom? |

50 web tools you can use to create a story
http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryTools Here you will find 50 web tools you can use to create a story. Again, your mission here is not to review every single one, but pick one that sounds interesting and see if you can produce something. I have used each tool to produce an example of Dominoe story and links provided where available to examples by other people. But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! |

Seven Steps for Digital Storytelling
http://21centuryconnections.com/node/234 Seven Steps for Digital Storytelling For those who have experienced process writing as a series of steps from brainstorming to a finished product, you can also think of digital storytelling as a series of process steps from start to finish. There are seven process steps divided into four phases: Pre-Production, Production, Post-Production, and Distribution. The technology tools, resources, and skills needed vary with each phase, but following these process steps will help your students translate their imagination and talents into exemplar digital stories worth the time and energy spent creating them. |
