Story Teller is a brilliant new software pack that goes right to the heart of the creative process by encouraging children to make up stories 'on the fly' without having to worry about writing them down. There are no right or wrong answers, and no good or bad stories-just the great spoken ideas they come up with.
The process is simple: choose the kind of story you want to tell (27 themes with over 4,000 pictures including dinosaurs, Egyptians, fantasy, Vikings etc) and Story Teller provides a picture from that theme. Don't think about it for too long - just talk until you want another picture from the set that Story Teller offers. What new ideas will it spark? How will the narrative have to change? Does the story go off in a different direction? And if you're working with a friend, you'd better make a good case for what happens next. Of course, because this is all being recorded, improvised sound effects and silly voices are almost essential! You can save your story, play it back with the pictures, even pause it and type it out later.
