Digital+Scrapbook

Digital Scrapbook

Jan asked me to organize an area for you to create digital scrapbooks to capture the memories of the UPWP 2008 Summer Institute. After playing around with some sites I had bookmarked, I think the simplest site is http://www.flip.com/.

I will be around to help a bit during the week, but to help us get started, visit the site and create your own account. Basically, everyone will be given (or choose) 10-12 pictures from the summer to create a Flipbook. Then they will be published, shared and embedded on the wikispace for all to see! (Yipee!) I will help with the embedding part...but anyone that can get a head start creating their account, watching the tutorial, etc. please go for it! Then we can use the buddy system and work together!

Take some time (if you have it...) to take a look at some examples of flipbooks! There are some really neat ones and I think this would be an awesome place for kids to create multigenre projects!

Here is a sample I made...(very quickly!) http://www.flip.com/people/flipbooks/462174
