I love slideshows and they are especially effective when one wants to portray an emotion and show the progression of a story from beginning to end.
You can simply show the picture slides, add text, music or a voiceover to really invove the target audience.

If only we had a screen near our library's entrance... We have a perfect captive audience in all those eager members who wait outside counting down the minutes till our doors open. Our library could do a slideshow showing the year that passed at the library!

Here is a slideshow I found when looking at Authorstream.
You can play it here and
* Simply watch the pics with the volume turned on
* Watch it in full screen mode with the volume turned on to see the factual information about the festival and the information about the individual picture slides in the text box. You can speed up the show by placing your mouse indicator in the text box and clicking on this when you are ready to move on. Simply press ESC to return to the blog.
* Alternatively, you can go to the actual site and play it there. Visit:

Note: there are 100 slides to possibly see but it is well worth it!

Online Screencasting looks interesting and I can immediately see one benefit to using tools like Screenr - decreased delays in broadcasting the finished product!
Provided one has a fast enough internet connection, one can play the screencast eliminating all of those nasty pauses while we wait for the website to open up and as the trainer manually works their way through all of the individual steps as sometimes technology can be too slow when in a live training session.
Additionally, if online access to this screencast is also provided one can revisit and replay as many times as one requires to be able to learn the procedures involved.

The digital storytelling "Culture Shock" project was also fascinating to read, watch and listen to.
Not only did it provide an insight into the individual people's stories, but it also leaves a great record of the varying accents of the people of North East England.
