Google Search Stories - It is amazing to think that an entire “story” can be told in just a few searches on-line, but it is certainly true. My favorite commercial of the Super Bowl this past year was called Parisian Love. It was a simple relationship story that was told entirely


through various Google searches. Google Search Story Creator allows teachers and students to quickly and easily tell a digital story using this same technique. The user selects a search term (up to 7 of them) and type of search (Web, Images, Blog, Maps, etc.). Then they can select a genre of music and voila - An instant YouTube submission of your Search Story. This can be a very powerful tool for a whole variety of subjects. Just think of the challenge and fun it would be to retell your favorite novel in seven simple search terms. This one is fast, fun, and free!

YouTube launched their own video editing tools last summer. The tools are a bit coarse, but they do allow you to edit your own uploaded works. The YouTube video editor could be helpful for


you and your students when working with raw footage uploaded from a Flip camera or similar device. Learn more about how to edit videos using YouTube’s Video editor in the presentation found at https://docs.google.com/present/view? id=df6bwk2v_552gj98kwf9
