Weekly Resources: Google Tools, Digital Storytelling, & New Posts

This past week, we have seen an influx of resources for our July 25-26 All Things Google workshop thanks to news from the Google I/O Keynote. We also uncovered new tools and resources for our May 21st Digital Storytelling webinar and July 8-10 Digital Storytelling & Multimedia Student Projects workshop.

All Things Google

Digital Storytelling

Flipgrid
Though billed as an “alternative assessment” tool, Flipgrid could also be used for collaborative storytelling. Teachers can create grids in which students respond with personal video narratives.

sketchlot – Create a sketch, share it with students
This web-based, collaborative whiteboard works on ALL devices. Students can work together to illustrate and plan their stories.

Prezi hyperlinks solution
Though Prezi is usually considered more of a presentation tool, with this work-around, it is possible to turn those presentations into more of a “choose your own ending” story.
