One of those posts with links that I didn’t feel warranted a blog post of their own. Have a play with them and see what you think!
Spell with Flickr – for those times you want a word to look really funky and you’ve exhausted all the fonts. This pulls in photos of letters from flickr to make your word. Embed into your blog or use a capture tool to grab the image to use in a flipchart.
Phrasr – Type a phrase and the site will pull in words from Flickr to match each word and then animates them in sequence. You can save them, and link to old ones via the archive. Here’s an example.
Bookr is from the same people who produced Phrasr. It lets you use flickr photos to make picture books which you can publish or share. A nice tool for literacy.
Another version of the Fridge Magnet Poetry idea can be found here. Looks like a shared space so you can create poems with others.
Elastoplast have produced a website that lets you create stories using characters built from plasters (band-aids). You can have 6 frames, select static or animated characters, draw on each frame, and add your own text desciption. Stories can be saved to their archive. A different way to do digital storytelling, as long as you don’t mind the obvious product placement! Write your stories here!
