=FIFTY TOOLS (to tell the same story) http://cogdogroo.wikispaces.com/StoryTools= Web 2.0 storytelling using multiple forms of media (text, images, audio, or video) to publish content

Perhaps the best approach for educators is simply to give Web 2.0 storytelling a try and see what happens. We invite you to jump down the rabbit hole. Add a photo to Flickr and use that as a writing prompt. Flesh out a character in Twitter. Follow a drama unfolding on YouTube. See how a wiki supports the gradual development of a setting.[]

BOOK BLOG
Ever thought of getting your students to keep a book blog instead of tedious writing on pieces of paper which get lost? The students can take a photo of the book cover, pick out recommended passges and comment on them, make a static image as a response to the book and post it on the blog, write about character etc and post it on the blog, find other net links to the book, read someone else's review and respond to it. Much more colourful and interesting than "write a 300 word essay" See Mrs C's bookblog here []
