My StoryMaker

A web app that allows students to create simple animated stories using a drag and drop interface:

"You have the power to decide -- choosing characters, taking them on adventures and creating your very own story along the way. my StoryMaker® lets you control characters and objects -- and it creates sentences for you! Or, you can enter your own words. Once you are done with your story, you can print it out."

One thing I noticed when using this app: If you accidentally press the "end" button while creating your story, it is immediately "published" and then cannot be edited any further.

The app is able to generate a "magic code" which enables users to view or print their completed story at a later time.
