Flickr & Skype- two old favourites

Just realised that Ive not mentioned a couple of my old favourites yet......

Flickr
Flickr is an excellent, free, web based photo sharing space......Im a bit of an addict now, its great fun, build up your contacts, add comments on each others photos and create sets. I'm finding it a really useful tool for pulling together all the family history info. including census detail.

Skype
The other one has to be Skype..... software that lets you make free calls and instant messaging to anyone else on Skype, anywhere in the world. Even though the calls are free, they are of excellent quality. You can also use webcams and make free video calls.

E2BN's Myths and Legends

I've just come across E2BN's Myths and Legends web link:

e2bn Myths & Legends
It has an exciting story creator program which could provide a good introduction to storyboarding. Available on the E2Bn - RBC website, free of charge and web based so can be used on any platform. In story creator 2 you can also add sound or record a voice over to go with your text. in both versions you can add your own photographs. Once you have created your story you can save this and play it back on the site (a bit like a movie) or download it to your computer. For those of you trying to develop ENGLISH or the creative curriculum with an ICT application this is ideal; you also have the opportunity to submit any of your own local myths and legends.

CrazyTalk 4

Have you seen CrazyTalk 4?
CrazyTalk
It enables you to create virtual animated actors from digital photos adding a perfect personality to multimedia projects, for PC only- umm!!......I don't think there is a Mac equivalent though.
