The first Web 2.0 App that I have chosen is Story Jumper. The URL for this App is http://www.storyjumper.com/ . The primary use for Story Jumper is the creation of children's story books by children, there are options to build a book from scracth or to start with template such treasure maps or a space theme. Inorder for someone to use the program they be either 13yrs and older or have parental consent. This tool could be used for students of all ages to create stories in place of tradinitional assigments/papers. For instance a high school student could use it to illustrate the rise of facsim trough actual characters as opposed to just writing a paper. This would help students who don't have strong writing skills as they would have still have to research and know the material however they would not have to as much writing as they normally would.
