**Film and film editing**
There are a few software packages available for both Mac and PC to create and edit digital stories.

‍‍‍ **Mac **
iMovie is an editing package that is standard with a Mac. This software intererface is reasonably easy to use after you spend some time learning the interface. I find the older version is more simple to use than the newer version. Here's a copy of the older version for anyone struggling with the new one. __ iMove HD __ (older and better version). __ [|Photoshop Elements 9] __ provides image editing and the facility to create digital stories. Here is the download for trial of this software - __ download here __

these are both 30 day free trials. This is a wonderful application that engages everyone well. It is well worth the $24 to purchase once your 30 day free trial has expired.

‍‍‍**Drawing**
Doozla is a new software that enables students to draw freehand, colour in, draw on photos or create drawings with a background. The software interface is very easy to use and would be wonderful for lower grades in a primary school.
