It's really a yin/yang for me: the specifics can be a blur without the concepts, but the concepts don't mean much until you see an example in action. That's true of education generally (the constructivists will hasten to tell me), of course, but as always, the faster the computer stuff goes--and Web 2.0 goes like a bat out of hell--the faster the cycles of specifics/concepts/specifics/concepts go too. Lately I've been going for cognitive/affective parameters--beginning again with that ELI Webinar--and I'm starting to refine the list to where I like it, at least provisionally. Clearly this is one heckuva thought-provoking post. Thanks, big dog.

There's interesting content on there already -- bios of the 2008 presidential election candidates, Shakespeare's life, History of WWI and WWII, etc. A few schools and classes are currently using this tool now to create timelines on U.S. and world history, and environmental history. I'd love to hear from you with any feedback about our free service. Cheers, Lauren Hi Alan,

Since I live in a PC environment, I find Photo Story 3 to be a digital story-telling tool with considerable potential and flexibility. It's also really easy to use. The one drawback is that converting to a universally shareable format presents some challenge. By converting the project file (wmv), however, I've had good success doing the conversion so I can share on Youtube and Google Video. This one’s definitely not Web 2.0, at least not directly.
