ConverStations: Google Chrome Story: Digital Storytelling Example

Are you ready for Google Chrome? Maybe, maybe not (I am). Are you ready for how Google is telling their story? I think we can all learn from it.

It's in a graphica storytelling format - it's a comic book.

There are plenty of sites that offer easy peasy ways of using photos or pre-made comic strip characters to allow you to tell your story.

One example:

Recently, Angela shared a photo journey in a slideshow, showing photos of What Real Readers Do. Wouldn't it have been cool for her to use Comiqs.com to put captions on each photo -- and making the slideshow a full-blown mini-lesson?

Bitstrips is one site that allows you to use pre-created characters (that you can modify) to help get your story into a itty-bitty comic strip. You can then create a whole series of these posts to run over a period of time.

How are you telling your story? Taking a piece of Google's playbook is often a smart idea.

By the way, I can hardly wait for Chrome. It looks like a winner!
