[|Everybody Has a Story to Tell]: Digital Storytelling resource with PowerPoint presentation, student examples, resource files and websites, elements to include, successful uses in the classroom, and educational theory.

Microsoft PowerPoint (already available on most school PCs) [|PowerPoint Extreme]: 20 minute video on using PowerPoint in education, Includes the why, problems, and suggestions.

[|VoiceThread] This is also one of my favorites. [|Click here] for a student example. One of my students who is a Dynavox user created this fill-in-the-blank writing activity and then presented it to the class using VoiceThread. He was very proud of his completed project. This free multimedia tool can be used with a variety of students for a variety of subjects (for examples see Everybody Has a Story to Tell link above). VoiceThread is also great because you can search for other students' projects to get ideas.======

[|Audacity]: Easily my favorite source for free audio recording and editing. Requires a quick download.

**__Comics: __**
[|ReadWriteThink.org Comic Creator]:

[|GoAnimate]:Nothing to download and lots of options to customize. Can import photos and sounds. Students can use to create their own characters. Love this one!

[|Make Beliefs Comix]: Easy to use but not a lot of options for customization. Cannot store creations online, but can print them out or email them.

[|Pixton]: This one is great because you can add sound and voice over comics. Can create and upload images. Creations can be printed, downloaded, embedded, and shared on the web.
