Abstract

Creativity, collaboration, and cultural understanding are becoming increasingly important in our workplace and society. As educators, we are therefore challenged to create new opportunities for children to express their ideas and share their work in collaboratively playful settings, both locally and online the world over. ToonTastic is a storytelling and animation tool that empowers young children to create their own cartoons and share their stories with other children around the world. The software is designed to be used with custom-built multi-pen interactive displays for arts and technology museums, but can also be used online with a conventional mouse. Our goal is to build an online Global Storytelling Network that will inspire creative collaboration and spread cultural understanding through the power of story.
