"Welcome to Myths and Legends. This site is for pupils, teachers and all those who enjoy stories and storytelling. The British Isles is rich in myths, folktales and legends. Almost every town, city and village in Britain has its own special story, be it a Celtic legend, Dark Age mystery, strange happening or fable."

Wonderful tool for elementary digital storytelling.

Very nice writing that introduces Storybird as a digital storytelling tool.  It provides an overview as well as advice on how-to use the resource. 

An online art project developed by Google, this site is a place for digital storytelling through pictures, not words. Students can work collaboratively to create a short animated story, with each animation building off the previous branches. Students can create their own seeds & invite others to grow a tree with them. Before students can create their own seeds, they do have to contribute to an already existing tree. If a student does not feel they can express their words with an animation, think about having the students pair up. Have one student become an author & write an outline of the story, while the other student draws the animation of the story.

A nice collection of writing prompts.

Wonderful site for elementary digital storytelling.

Collaboratively create short stories one line at a time.

Use caution, some of the stories may be inappropriate for your students.

Easy-to-use digital storytelling site makes stories that are perfectly formatted for mobile devices.

I learned of Twine from Richard Byrne's Free Technology 4 Teachers blog post. It is great to see an opensource option that one can download and run locally or remain on the web to write.
