Doodle helps finding suitable dates and times for group events, e.g., an appointment, a conference call, a family reunion, etc. Doodle is particularly easy to use – and passes the „grandma-test“. In addition to scheduling events, Doodle also supports polls in general. 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

Oct 11, 2009 - 10:10:49Another Great Show. Always love the tips. Just a real fast 2cents on the Art of Story Telling website. It is a great site and will be using it with my students, but you can’t save the audio with the picture (could use audacity with it to get the audio and upload the picture in a podcast) Also the link they give you to visit the site in their email is the wrong link they have a .com not .org the .com version doesn’t work and takes you to a Big Daddy Parked Free advertisement page. Just thought I would let you know. Keep up the good work!
