I know you've heard of PhotoStory, but did you know there are more than 50 other web-based tools you can use for digital storytelling? Check out this wiki http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryTools by Alan Levine; he not only provides links and directions for each of the tools, but has also used all of the tools to create versions of the same story about his dog to give users a great visual of how each tool differs and ideas for their uses. Other visitors to his wiki have also uploaded examples of their work under each tool.
Think of the slide shows and other uses your students can come up with using these tools-timelines for historical events, sequences of science projects, novel summations, bring their own writing to life. . . Kids will be excited about the opportunities available through these digital storytelling tools.
