STORYTELLING 2.O -OUTSTANDING WEBSITES FOR YOU!
 
 This moving tribute to family, traditions and culture is a project by Joe McHugh in whichyou will find audio logs, pictures, and stories of families going through the good and the bad.Great idea for you to create your own in class!The BBC-Wales offers several digital stories where musicians, news reporters,community workers, and everyday people narrate their experiences.This helpful for students to understand how a good narrative is produced both orally and in writing.Far from just a blog, this incredible project portrays the stories of 7 teenegagers. What dothey have in common? They are all war refugees from different zones.Think aboutasking your students to reflect and write a critical analysis on what they saw, then explaintheir own realities the way it is done on the site.Bubble share is a photo sharing application similar to FLICKR. and Photobucket,however, it seems to be a bit more filtered for student needs. That way, every picture youask the students to research will not come back with a “double entendre.”
