one of my favourite publishing tools

Storybirds are short, art-inspired stories you make to share, read, and print.

Storybird is a service that uses collaborative storytelling to connect kids, families and teachers. Two (or more) people author a Storybird-one with words, one with pictures-and then share it with their network. The final product can be printed, watched on screen, played with like a toy, or shared through a worldwide library. For the teachers is possible to create thematic assignments within seconds to support their lesson plans. Assign privacy settings, turn Spellcheck on or off, and issue due dates. All using an intuitive interface. Pedagogical uses: developement creativity, language skills, foreign languages skills, creative writing, storytelling. Intermediate level Tags: free, storytelling

cool flash app to  make drawings

you draw, then the application turns it into an animated drawing that you can save and embed, all for free. Interesting if you like drawings and animation. Very simple and intuitive. No need for instructions. Pedagogical uses: storytelling in a different style; icebreaker; illustrator

Does it work with tablets? Would be a great drawing tool if you do not have to use your mouse for it.

Cool Dutch maker-education initiative and organisation.
