==**Film and film editing** ==

There are a few software packages available for both Mac and PC to create and edit digital stories. ===**Mac ** ===

iMovie is an editing package that is standard with a Mac. This software intererface is reasonably easy to use after you spend some time learning the interface. I find the older version is more simple to use than the newer version. Here's a copy of the older version for anyone struggling with the new one. __ iMove HD __ (older and better version) __ download here __. This is a zip file. You need to double click to open it and then place it into your applications folder __ [|Photoshop Elements 9] __ provides image editing and the facility to create digital stories.

==**Comics** ==

Comics provide a really cool way for students to tell their stories. Comic Life is a funky bit of software that helps you to create those comics in a very simple and powerful way.

these are both 30 day free trials. This is a wonderful application that engages everyone well. It is well worth the $24 to purchase once your 30 day free trial has expired.

==**Drawing** ==

Doozla is a new software that enables students to draw freehand, colour in, draw on photos or create drawings with a background. The software interface is very easy to use and would be wonderful for lower grades in a primary school.
