Storytelling Sites

Here are some sites you could use for your book report project.

xtranormal – http://www.xtranormal.com – This is the site I showed in class that allows you to write a script and have characters act it out.

VoiceThread – http://www.voicethread.com – This site allows you to upload an image and put an audio or video narration with it.

Glogster – http://www.glogster.com – On this site you can make a digital poster and can add images and video clips.

Prezi – http://www.prezi.com – This is kind of like Power Point, but a lot more interactive!

If you sign up for any of these sites, make sure you have parental permission and supervision!

Do you have any favorite tools we could use to make digital presentations? Share them in the comments!
