T4LT - Google Story Builder


A strange little website with some educational value...probably. The site allows you to create an animation of a Google Doc creation with multiple users/characters typing into the doc and correcting each other. Add background music or not and share with friends. Applications for educational use are shared in this episode (which was supposed to be finished in January). http://docsstorybuilder.appspot.com
