 * [] : this website comes from the website [] It has a huge comprehensive list of digital storytelling websites similar to story bird and story jumper. Lots of good suggestions, but story bird and story jumper are my two favorites.

Using Photos and Researching
 * [|http://www.photovisi.com] : This is a website you can you to create a photo collage using various pictures that have been saved to your computer. I had my students research famous artists and make a collage of the photos they found of their art from the internet.

Using Comics

An extra site:
