Extension: using digital timelines

Task 2 - See examples
a. These are some of the web tools that can be used for storytelling purposes.
Have a look at some examples we´ve selected.
Ask yourself: Which ones did you like the most? What did you like about it? Which tools would you like to try out?
Task 3 - Explore
a. First, let´s explore as many tools as we can before choosing one for our final project this week. All the tools mentioned above are free, so sign up and have a look at how the tool works. Don't worry if you get lost in the multitude of tools: you can find tutorials on how to use each of them on YouTube or on their home page, for example:
a) How to use VoiceThread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BULUq4LS10w
b) How to use VuVox http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwzr-JWBq0Q&feature=related
c) Capzles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBv2UwbKG6E
If you have any problems working with any of the tools, ask for support at our HelpDesk and we´ll do our best to help you out.
Task 4 - Create your story
a. After exploring the suggested tools, let´s get to work by starting creating our own stories. Choose a tool you´ve enjoyed and start working on a story using your imagination or our suggested topic "A Day in the Life of a Learner."
b. It would be a good idea to create a story board to help you organize your story
