Fototoon is a real cool activity that was enjoyed by students in Samoa when I was there. Anyone want to test this new version?<br>What I like about it is you can make storyboards, which is a real nice extension for some cultures who have retained historic local knowledge through story telling, and those of us who are into plays you can make great play scripts. ;-)<br>
Share your ideas on how you would use it and we can add them to the lesson plans on the wiki.<br>Tabitha<br>

If you want try can download <a href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/%7Egodiard/Fototoon-5.xo" target="_blank">http://people.sugarlabs.org/~godiard/Fototoon-5.xo</a><br>
You can test save like image (in a palette in the keep button) but is not working well yet.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Gonzalo<br><br></font><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im">On Sun, Oct 17, 2010 at 4:02 AM, <a href="mailto:tom.staubitz@fhtw-berlin.de" target="_blank">tom.staubitz@fhtw-berlin.de</a> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tom.staubitz@fhtw-berlin.de" target="_blank">tom.staubitz@fhtw-berlin.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

This works fine as long as files are concerned, e.g. Pics or Audio recordings taken with Record.<br>It does not work if I try to copy an activity from the journal to the usb stick.<br>No matter if I'm using the menu in the details view or drag and drop.<br>
The behavior is always the same: it appears to work, the little copy icon appears etc. but in the end <br>the copied file is not on the stick. I've tried two different sticks, both have been recently formatted. <br><br>
Why would I want to copy an activity to a usb stick?<br>Imagine two or more children. Half of them are in country1, the others are in country2.<br>They would like to collaborate on an activity, e.g. FotoToon.<br>One of the groups starts and adds a picture and some bubbles. Now they want to send their work to the other group so that they can add a picture and a couple of bubbles. This goes back and forth a couple of times. <br>
<br>I actually managed somehow to store the FotoToon activity as a zip file. This zip contains the images and a .json file describing the bubbles. Unfortunately FotoToon does not seem to be able to open this zip file.<br>
<br>More or less the same happens when I attach the activity to an email. If I rename the file to xxx.zip I can open it and there are the images and the json file. I cannot open it with FotoToon. If I do not rename the activity and try to start it it will open Etoys.<br>
<br>Another problem is how to save the final story into a format that e.g. can be published on a website?<br><br>FotoToon is just one example that the results that have been achieved while working with one activity cannot be used to be edited in another activity. I have the same problem with, amongst others, TamTamJam or Paint.<br>
Is it really not possible or am I missing something?<br><br>Thanks a lot for your help,<br>Tom<br><br><br><br><br><br>On Aug 3, 2010, at 1:55 PM, Bernie Innocenti wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">On Tue, 2010-08-03 at 09:11 +0200, Tomeu Vizoso wrote:<br>
