The Walrus and the Carpenter

Throughout my time here in Wonderland/The Internet I have come across a whole myriad of people that have helped me find my way back home. As I look back on it I want to be able to share my stories with those that do not want to go back and read about my previous adventures in Wonderland. Tweedledee and Tweedledum told me the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter. To tell the story they used two interesting Wonderland tools. Tweedledee used http://storybird.com/ and Tweedledum used http://www.digitalstoryteller.org/ . These tools were used to tell me the digital story of the Walrus and the Carpenter. Storybird is a site that has preset pictures associated with different themes. One could use choose a theme and then choose pictures to tell their digital story. Digitalstoryteller is a site that allowed Tweedledee and Tweedledum to add their own voices, text and images to their story and make a digital movie. After they showed me the digital story we recounted the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter. The Walrus and the Carpenter were walking on a beach where they came across a bed of oysters. The Carapenter befriended the oysters while the Walrus tricked them into a pot of boiling water and then ate them. Digital storytelling has given Tweedledee and Tweedledum the tools to overcome their dyslexia and showed me a new way to show my adventures in Wonderland to anyone that has chosen to follow me on this crazy ride.
