Digital Storytelling takes the ancient art of oral storytelling and engages technical tools to weave personal tales using images, graphics, music and sound mixed with the author's own story voice.
Today, with digital networks and social media, this pattern is changing. Stories now are open-ended, branching, hyperlinked, cross-media, participatory, exploratory, and unpredictable.

"Meograph provides tools for creating map-based and timeline-based narrated stories.
When you watch a Meograph story (click here to watch one about women's rights in the USA) you will notice that it is very similar to a watching a narrated Google Earth tour.

"The time is finally here for my annual list of favorite sites of the year. This year I decided to up my post to the top 100 instead of 25 because of the number of sites that I reviewed and the popularity of the post.
