Will the app work without glitches? Will the internet connection stall or will students actually be able to get on with their task? Despite there already being great tools to use for presentations, students still tend to use too many words in their slides, often hindering the power and impact their images could have. By using as a presentation tool, and even more importantly, as a storytelling tool, learners focus on the image, the meaning and flow of story telling. Additionally, many learners, equipped with their mobiles and other digital devices, do take plenty of their own photos. Why not use their interests to tell contemporary stories, their own personal stories?
