About Me
- Sam
- I have a fish named Gus. I like macaroni and cheese, I hate Lola Tilly Commons food, I wish i could play the tuba, I like theatre, rain in the summertime is the best type of weather ever. Someday I hope to travel to Egypt and look at the pyramids. I want to have a ladybug farm. I want to live in the country and in the city. I want to have a hammock under an apple tree. I want to stargaze and own a llama. I'm afraid of dinosaurs. I like strawberry icecream, but I don't like plain strawberries. I dislike the noise of styrofoam. I don't like slow walkers who purposefully walk in front of me. I wish i had more patience, I wish i could show more tolerance

First--this is a really stunning presentation. It's beautifully laid out, the pictures are wonderful, and I found myself forgetting it was computer-generated--it felt like a book to me. That's no small feat. It reminds me of other comments I have made about Panraven--that the process can be painful but that the results can be spectacular.
And that brings me to my second point--that of feeling frustrated with the process of creating a Panraven storybook. I don't know why the process of uploading images to Panraven is so much more time consuming and prone to error that for Flickr or VoiceThread, for example. I agree with your view (in a different blog post) that this would be a major problem for young students, and any project involving Panraven for this group would almost certainly need some parent helpers. Perhaps it's the case that this is a teacher tool and not a student tool, at least as far as elementary students are concerned.
Still, the product can be compelling...
