Free Technology for Teachers: Five Tools That Help Students Plan Stories | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

As a student the importance of planning a story before writing it was driven into my head. Then when I became a teacher, I drove that same message home to my students. Here are five free tools that students can use to plan and outline their stories.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Check out these five tools but pay attention to Amazon Studios/Storybuilder.

Richard Byrne shares great resources. Don't be afraid to explore these for marketing and PR too! OPf particular interest is Amazon Studios/Storybuilder.

Since there is a "student" in each of us, I find this post even relevant to re-learners.

Storination : Storination

Storination : Storination | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it
Why join storination?

To create in less than a minute a beautiful Storyboard with awesome content curated by you and others.
Storination lets you create online communities called a Nation, where people share social stories on the same topic. After opening your Nation, you organize your Storyboard, a virtual space where anybody can contribute by adding his own Storify story.


How to start a Nation ?

Connect with your twitter account and open your first Nation. A Nation is an online community on any kind of topic. It's a space where you and other people add into a storyboard social stories. Customize your Nation like a blog by uploading a logo, and a large cover. Now, you can publish a Storify story by collecting photos, video, tweets... or If you prefer, just import social stories directly from Storify to your Nation.

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Storination is a new storytelling tool with tons of potential. Just starting to explore but it looks exciting for collaborative storytelling and community building around stories, themes or ideas. Hat tip to Giuseppe Mauriello for pointing it out.

Celebritize You's curator insight, July 1, 2013 5:52 PM

Create an amazing storyboard in just a few minutes. 

Jeff Domansky's curator insight, July 1, 2013 7:11 PM

I'm looking forward to exploring this tool which fits together nicely with Storify.

Social startup Storify is capturing the imagination of journalists and brands...

 

With the presidential elections underway and the Olympics coming up, this is a big year for event-driven journalism—and for social publishing tool Storify.


Storify built its name on enabling reporters, bloggers or anyone to aggregate status updates, tweets, links and YouTube videos and embed them into a blog-style, continuous-stream article treatment that can then live on a site of one’s choosing. The concept is fairly simple: capture as much content as possible on a particular topic from numerous voices across the Web in an easy-to-consume format....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Another storytelling and curation tool I can personally recommend.
