Picking Tools By Media Capabilities

If you are trying to pick a Story Tool based on the kinds of media that you can use, see the categories below. We have tagged each tool based on the the kinds of media that can be uploaded from your own computer, or imported from other sites.

But before rummaging around the toolbox, have you done your prep work? Do you have your story idea or presentation concept outlined, developed? This should be on paper or in a document file or scribbled on the back of a napkin, but do not rely on making it up as you go! If not, go back 2 spaces and do this now. Next- do you have your media assets available, your images, video clips, audio files-- if not go find your media now.
