Room 13 have been watching Inanimate Alice and exploring digital storytelling. In small groups we then created our own Episode 5 using PowerPoint (PPT). We found PPT easy to use with good animations but hard to convert for the internet. We managed to capture some of our stories using Jing but lost some of the sound affects.
Today we Skyped one of the authors, Kate Pullinger. Some question we asked her are:
Damon, Phoenix and John
Mohana, Abbey, Amber and Monalisa

That's pretty impressive. How fabulous that you were able to talk to an author directly.
