Pictory

We can’t leave the house without encountering the strange and extraordinary, and people who live differently than we do. When we go overseas those feelings are multiplied. Broken conversations, disorienting locations, and jetlag are the hallmarks of international travel. Some find this exhilarating — but most of us end up somewhere between amazed and exhausted. They say we’re at our most creative when we’re farthest from home, and it makes sense. What better way to get a new perspective on who you are and where you come from than to be removed from it?

Very pretty site about photographs with an intriguing UI.

ZooBurst is a digital storytelling tool that is designed to let anyone easily create their own customized 3D pop-up books.

RT @tcea: New #animated #comiccreator called #Stage'd available at http://stagedproject.com/. Use it to create #3D digital plays!

From Kelly Tenkely: Stage’d is a tool that helps students to tell digital stories in a new 3-d way. Students can create a stage full of characters and dialogue as if they are directing their own digital play. They can choose characters, costumes, animations, set design and provide characters with dialog. When the 3-d comic has been saved, it can be emailed or linked to with a unique url. Stage’d is perfect for use in any classroom, to save a comic requires no personal identifying information or even an email address. All students have to do is type in the name of the director (first name only or a pseudonym)."

Staged is a very simple to use 3D comic design webtool that allows students to create animated comic strips that speak with speech bubbles. It would be a great way to have students act out a scene from a novel or history.

Create a flipbook

A flip book maker! Possibly for primary school usage?

Read Write Think provides teachers, particularly reading and writing teachers, with a wealth of information and teaching resources. One neat resource of theirs that I recently learned about through Doug Peterson is their flip book maker. Read Write Think's flip book maker provides a template for students to use to create and print a ten page flip book. Students can use the flip book maker to design pages that contain various combinations of text and images. The flip book maker provides drawing tools that students can use to create original drawings to illustrate their stories.
