That is, groups can conveniently decide on options other than dates. tags: polls, tools, collaboration, calendar, doodle, online, poll, voting, scheduling - The Art Of Storytelling » Home
The Art of Storytelling website was created by The Delaware Art Museum to allow online visitors to engage with our collections in a unique and creative way. Beyond experiencing our rich variety of art works in the traditional museum setting, this online project – the Art of Storytelling – allows visitors to create their own pictures and stories inspired by works in the museum. These visitor creations can then be shared, both as an email to a friend and published to this site as an entry for all to experience. In addition to creating pictures and writing stories, visitors with microphones enabled on their computers can also record their stories for others to hear. tags: storytelling, digitalstorytelling, digital_storytelling, writing, literacy, web2.0 - Teacher Tap: Public Domain, Copyright Free, Open Source, and Student Use Images and Media
