The fact is there are many ways to achieve your product. Yet people sometimes get stymied by the "have you heard about .... ?" kind of questions. People love to leverage being one step ahead on the latest app that's out there. Anther fact is that we've been doing these kind of multimedia mash-ups FOREVER - how many of you remember the earliest versions of Hypercard ... gosh if you were at all talented you could pull off the same thing with Commodore 64's ... even a PET if you could deal with Robot voice. Alan why is everyone so amazed with the ability to make these talking slide shows ... is it that "anyone" can do it now, and you can repurpose it across multiple sites / locations / purtposes (i.e. portability) whereas you had to be steeped in geekdome 10 years ago to pull it off? What's all the fuss mate?

I teach Spanish. The hardest part of any language class is getting the students to take risks in the new(er) language. Research shows (and anyone who is in a classroom knows) that the more you prep and anticipate and practice, the better the outcome. Digital storytelling is yet another way for students to pull together thoughts and ideas prior to being put on the spot to talk with others. They are also great conversation starters all by themselves. And what is glorious is that these tools have come SUCH a long way in terms of flexibility and ease of use. Hooray. Bravo! Thank you!
