Panraven Storybook
I think this is a good tool for students to use in a classroom. It is a way for them to express a story in a fun way. They are able to add pictures as well as words to describe their stories to people. It is fun to pick different layouts for the pages and different backgrounds for the type of story that will match. It is a good tool for teachers to use because we can have a variety of methods to teach students with. We have the flickr slideshow to show pictures on, but we have the storybook to write about the pictures shown.
I think Panraven is a fun idea. Although it is a bit frusterating to work with because it does not have a lot of options to mess around with, it is a great learning tool. It was very easy for me to figure out how to use. The only problem I had was with changing the font, but even that was not too difficult. I hope everyone enjoys my storybook.

I've found that, with Panraven, you just have to learn to live within it's limitations and design your projects with those limitations in mind. It doesn't have the graphic flexibility of Comic Life, for example, but it's a good to tell a narrative story with picture and text. The bottom line for me is that the results--the online storybook and the possibility of printing a hard copy--are usually pretty compelling.
I don't think that most primary students would be very successful at creating their own stories without having some adult help.
