If you are looking for an easy tool for sharing stories in your classroom, try UtellStory. This web-based site is very easy for students to use, allowing the upload of images, video, text and music. Users can also record their own audio. The free version is a little stripped down, but offers enough bandwith for your students to create and share. In a literature setting, I see this as a fun tool to support charactization, themes, figurative language, etc.Once published, UtellStory supplies a URL or embed code for posting to class websites, blogs or eportfolios. I made a simple one below using my own photos and music from Jamendo. Check it out, I think you'll come up with a number of ways your students could use this in your classroom.
