Capzles
Capzles: http://www.capzles.com/
Here is another form of storytelling The upside is that it includes cool design options, background music, photos and text. Just click on each picture to read about it. The downside is that it can not be narrated and the blog feature at the end doesn't always work. There is a free signup, but someone with an email account would have to do that. I don't yet know if several students can work under the same account name at the same time. But, just another idea to view. Here is an example of one that I did.
