This is a fun way for elementary students to make their own stories online. There are different backgrounds and characters for the students to select. I have used this with my own students and they liked that they were able to share their online book with their parents at home.

Storybird is a tool to create digital stories. 

Storify allows users to create stories by importing content into a timeline. I've seen Storify used to archive tweet chats, such as #iaedchat. I haven't used it personally can certainly see potential uses, such as archiving a class hashtag follow.

Augmenting Google Earth with your own place-based stories

Even though this app only works on iPads, I consider it a Web 2.0 tool as well because recorded "ShowMe's" are accessible on your computer. Similar to Educreations, it is an interactive whiteboard. I've used with with elementary students to create social stories. I use my iPad to take a picture of them doing the preferred activity, then have them voice record their own description. Very effective with children with autism!

Easily simulate your 3D projects in Augmented Reality. Impress your teachers and get a top grade. Express your creativity and get rid of prototyping cost and time barriers.

Rob, I've intrigued by augmented reality since I first learned about it at an EdCamp last winter. Since then I've played around with AR flashcards, Chromville and Aurasma. I can see this application used both by teachers and students. It is my hope to generate some Aurasma's next year that students can demonstrate to the public. This will work to connect student learning to the public and showcase our 1:1 ipad initiative! @travislappe is someone you should follow on Twitter - he's a tech integrationist in South Dakota that has been very active with augmented reality.

I have been intrigued by augmented reality since beginning the VREP program at my school. This resource looks like a user friendly way to introduce the concept of AR into the classroom. I have actually used Poly Fauna for a collaborative project with West Central's chorus. It was a great way to tell a story and adapt a virtual storyboard to music. It definitely expanded the lesson plans I had previously implemented with our peer groups.

Blabberize is a fun 2.0 tool that allows you to record your voice with a static photo. Besides, they use a llama on their home page to demonstrate how it's used. What's not to love about that?

I could see a student using this to create an audio story for a classroom exercise. It's pretty ridiculous, but I imagine that's the appeal of it. It looks so simple that it would be a shame to not try it out! And I'm not aware of anything like it, except for JibJab, but that's much more limited in what you can do with it. I just am surprised that the Llama's audio is so poor...

Scratch is a free programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations.

One of the most popular resources for teaching basic programming. The platform is web based and simple enough to get started with that students would need little to know instruction to get started. The site offers many resources for teachers and students, and there is also a downloadable version to use when internet is not available.

Very interesting way to write a story. Students can interact with the book while reading and they can collaborate and write together at the same time!

This is a type of presentation service that would be great for digital story telling. It is more exciting than your traditional powerpoint and provides a more visual way for students to present ideas.

Prezi is an excellent presentation tool for both students AND teachers. Many other storytelling aids exist (and there's always PowerPoint), but all the ones I've seen are simply copycats of Prezi. Hand's down, Prezi is the gold standard in Web 2.0 presentationmaking.

My students love viewing content through prezi rather than ppt! I need to expand it to student use next year.
