for Digital Storytelling,' [was] created by the Bay Area Video Coalition
(BAVC), [and] offers storytelling tools and inspiration to teens
and anyone else interested in creating powerful, cinema-quality
stories about themselves and their organizations. BrainGlow is a
stand-alone application that teaches you to make digital stories
(movies) using BAVC's rich stock of still, audio, video, and animation
media. BrainGlow also contains a multimedia story gallery full of
stories made by young media makers, a teacher's workbook, and more
than 25 interactive skill-building activities."
