50+ Ways to Tell the Dominoe Story Just to prove it can be done, I create the same story as an example for every tool in the list using a story about my first dog, Dominoe. Previously, I created this short story done as a video assembled from still images and audio that was submitted for a 60 Second Story contest Each story below is based on my storyboard and assembled images on flickr and in Picasa . Note that a number of tools allow you to directly import media from these media sites. Below are examples of the same story (over and over again!) I was able to create in the 50+ tools, with both linked versions (on the tool's web site) and embedded versions, using the code provided to embed a media player into this web site. One of the most interesting discoveries was that most of these tools provided the ability to embed the media in other web sites.

Wonderful way to let students see the choice sout there for sharing their "story".

"My students were asked to write a math story problem and download the free trial of Animation-ish to animate their story! All students whose work is posted signed an agreement to allow me to share their project. The "ToonBoom" logo shows up in their animations because they used the trial version of Animation-ish. If you purchase the software, the logo will not show up in the liscensed version, so you will have a clean background in your animation."

Have a look and let me know if you would like your kids to learn how to do this.

"What is a Tetris Game? Languages Online Tetris is played like other versions of the game. Different shaped blocks fall from the top of the screen. The blocks can be moved to the left or right and can be rotated to form completed rows. When a row is complete it dissappears from screen and points are added to your score. If rows are not completed they remain on screen. These unfinished rows build up, making it harder and harder to manouver the falling blocks into place. The game ends when the blocks build up to the top of the play space. In this version of tetris the game pauses after every fourth block has fallen. To continue you must type in the correct word in response to a clue and click 'check'. If the answer is correct the game continues. If the answer is not correct then a 'bomb' falls through the game space removing any blocks in it's way. Using the Tetris Game Maker you create the lanmguages task for students to complete. The clue can be either text, pictures or voice recordings, and you must also enter the correct answer word. You can make games in any language. Any script (for example Arabic or Japanese) that can be typed on your computer can be used."

"Glogster is an online poster/web page creation tool. Users can include text, images (uploaded or links from the web), video, and audio to create an interactive online poster. It has an easy to master interface which allows for a lot of fun creativity. The edu. version of the site allows up to 200 students to be managed under a teacher account. Glogs can be linked or embed into your wiki or other online site. Teachers may introduce Glogster using this group project, however it's real strength is when students create glogs to demonstrate mastery of learning. Rather than create a poster or another PowerPoint presentation they create an interactive glog."

50+ Ways to Tell the Dominoe Story Just to prove it can be done, I am going to try and tell the same story as an example for every tool in the list. Previously, I created a short story originally as a video assembled from still images and audio that was submitted for a 60 Second Story contest Every story is based on my storyboard and assembled images on flickr and in Picasa -- a number of tools allow you to directly import media from these storage sites.

I was able to create in the 50+ tools, with both linked versions (on the tool's web site) and embedded versions, using the code provided to embed a media player into this web site. One of the most interesting discoveries was that about 2/3 of these tools provided the ability to embed the media in other web sites.

"The Internet is wonderful for entertainment and interesting content. However, for kids, that entertaining content isn't always appropriate. It's difficult for parents to allow their kids to use YouTube, because it's very hard to filter out the bad content from the good. Luckily, many of the children's sites across the Internet publish their own version of YouTube, dedicated exclusively for kids and no one else. "
