Promoting Education Online
Story Arts, is a cultural arts organization which focuses on the ancient art of storytelling and the diverse ways that storytelling can enrich multi-cultural understanding, interpersonal communication, and literacy.
In a collaborative effort, WD Interactive and Story Arts were awarded an Arts & Technology grant by Bell Atlantic to develop a Web site which promoted storytelling in the classroom as a means of nurturing reading and creative writing.
The site is geared to both language art teachers and students. WDI developed a site that was fun, engaging, informative, yet easy to use for Internet neophytes. The site includes an e-commerce store & audio "story theatre".
The Web site has extended Story Arts reach worldwide. Within three years of launching, the site has gathered an e-newsletter list boasting over 5000 subscribers from around the world.
