Image-based Writing: Examples

Slide your mouse through this and experience an interactive photo collage of a student trip to China. Click on the "hotspots" to listen to the audio and look at the slideshows.

This collage was created using vuvox.com, a very cool site where you can remotely build a Flash collage using digital images, video and sound. It is an extraordinary tool that helps students think of their projects in different ways and to conceptualize the overall presentation of their project. If your class would like to work on this site, you are free to use the YWP account or you can set up your own account. If you set up your own class account, make sure you ask to be a "Beta tester" of their collage product.
