Websites
Zopler Collaborative Storytelling is a free website that allows students to write collaboratively. Zopler considers itself a social network for writers where people can share stories and tap into the community of authors (students and teachers) to help wordsmith a piece or get over the writers block hurdle. Zopler is a neat concept that shows promise. This resource would be great for Middle and High School students.
ACMA Storyboard Generator http://generator.acmi.net.au/storyboard Storyboard Generator is a free tool from the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. Students can choose a script (or write their own) and create a storyboard. This is a great free tool for teachers to use with their students to help them learn storytelling, presentation skills, and so much more. Easy to use, this is a powerful tool for students of all ages
