A very flexible web based application that allows people to upload pictures or powerpoint presentations. Once uploaded, there is a social feature where people can comment through recorded audio, written text, an online pen, or even text message. You can use the comments to tell a story through either audio or words. It is a way to podcast with simple pictures.

This web interface takes short video clips and digital pictures and adds snazzy transitions, zooming, and pannings (the Ken Burns effect) to create a more professional looking movie without having to know IMovie. Has limited formats in the free version, but once a teacher creates educators account, the program gives an access code that students can use to sign-up create longer and more elaborate tools. The default without the code is only a 30-second movie.

For the reluctant writer, this tool allows students to create a virtual picture book by dragging and dropping collections of animations and drawings done by professionals and simply adding the text and formatting the pages in any way they choose.
