 * [|BBC Wales: Capture Wales] - A great collection of digital stories made by people all over Wales. I initially had some trouble viewing the stories, but was finally able to by right clicking on the image from the movie that is the hot link and selecting 'Copy Link Location.' I then pasted that into the URL line in RealPlayer and it finally played. Each story has some interesting process talk as well in the form of a mini interview with the storyteller and the script of the story as well.
 * [|Create a Book Talk] - This is a lesson and an example of how students can create a book talk using iMovie.
