Educational technology

http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Educational_technology MemoryMiner is a "digital storytelling" software for Mac and Windows. With it, through photos you can discover what connects peoples' lives across time and place and allows you to link the stories depicted in your photos based on people, places, ad time. Simply by dragging and dropping, you can specify who is in the photo and when and where the photo was taken. Additionally, you can drag and drop audio, video, documents, or URLs onto your photos and add text to them as well and can easily publish your digital story to the web. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>
