Digital Storytelling seems to offer much wider flexibility as a teaching tool, compared to the online writing tools we looked at previously. Kerpoof and Animoto seem to be much closer to the heart of creativity in writing - and illustrating.
I liked the layout of Digital Storytelling which also gave some helpful prompts and information for teachers like me who are not language arts specialists. Here's another site on Digital Storytelling which is similar. This second site is also brief, to the point, with various types of supportive information.
Kerpoof was limiting because of the precreated backgrounds and pictures. Guess the art teacher in me cannot be subdued. I ended up creating a drawing there, "Ahem." I'll try to create a link.
In Animoto, I made a short video of the quilted accordian book, The Mistaken Anole: An Underwater Odyssey I finished a few weeks ago. Animoto was pretty fun and easy to do, altho yes, no words are included in the story.
Still, after all this, I keep thinking of Flickr and Photostory ....
