Happy New Year

I have just got back into writing today after having a busy holiday time with Christmas and New Year visitors. I have been showing Jane how to write stories to share using Gone Google Story builder. You choose characters and write the story from the perspective of each character as dialogue. The cursor acts as a  typewriter with speech and you can choose backing music to enhance the story. When finished you can share the story via a link or on to Google +
It could help make story writing a bit more fun for those reluctant writers.

Another similar type of enhancement for story writing is Booktrack. Students can write and add sound effects or music to their story.
