Carol, Sharing new technology for the classroom during faculty meetings is a great idea- it is fantastic your new institution does this! It is a shame about the iPads where you previously taught, but without proper training, I can see how this could happen. I am glad you are taking away some new ideas from this course and your institution is looking to incorporate more technology in the classroom to engage students. I am not familiar with many interactive story writers, but have included a couple below that look user-friendly: http://storybird.com/ http://www.inklestudios.com/inklewriter Wishing you continued success in the classroom.
