Tools to Use to Create Stories

    - popplet - simpler alternatives to Webspiration -  to brainstorm ideas, story analysis, preparation and organization for writing

    - put the story in PowerPoint or Google docs Slide presentation  if a group - text and audio

    - create an oral narrative with CLEAR's podcast tool called Broadcast (no graphics)

    - still our favorite! PhotoStory 3 (installation required/PC only) and post to YouTube

    - iMovie (Mac) or MovieMaker (PC) - both are free, require installation if not on the computer already

    - Glogster.com - a glog is like a poster but with multimedia added

    - PBWorks wiki - to write a draft, peer editing, peer comments, create the story with multimedia 

    - Photoshop Express - to edit photos, prepare photos for the wiki, VoiceThread, or Comiqs 

    - Plurk - sort of like Twitter, but collected on a page, used for writing a collaborative story line by line

          here's an example of a plurk story in progress - http://www.plurk.com/p/10sqa

    - RubiStar - for assessment of the process and product of story creation 

    - xTimeline uses photos, video and text in a chronological format

    - VoiceThread - to put photos or PowerPoint online where they can be annotated with text, audio, and video 

    - Voki - a talking avatar to introduce your wiki page, or wiki activity/class - students can respond to each other 

    - Voxopop - similar to VoiceThread, but no graphics, just a chain of oral responses

    - VuVox - like Animoto, create moving slide strips with audio/music in the background, not photo by photo like Voice Thread

    - Yodio - add your voice via a phone to your photos

    - Figment - a place for authors to share their work, a la Facebook-type application

    - Tikatok - an award-winning site designed to let children write, illustrate, and publish their own stories. With writing hints/guides.

Share Your Students’ Digital Stories

Here are two sites where your students can share their non-English digital stories and browse others’ stories. For stories created using Storybird, a wiki has been set up where you can share and enjoy stories written by and for teachers and learners of French, German, Spanish and Italian (learn more about Storybird at http://storybird.com and at the Book Chook blog ). For stories created using other applications, there is another wiki: MFL Digital Stories.
