Just thought I'd share......

For an example of some of the new creative technological happenings
on the Web, check out the web site for the What Dreams May Come
movie - http://www.whatdreamsmay.com/

Not only can you enter some of the worlds of the movie (Paradise,
Hell etc.), click around each image and catalyze special effects
(sounds, video, ghostlike images, video - like a kind of Myst online)
but you can also go to Create Your Own World, choose a canvas
and use the Internet-based paint-program to paint your own version
of Paradise. Then you can save your image and invite friends to visit it.

This is a unique way to introduce students to some of the new
creative developments on the Internet, and encourage them to have
fun at the same time. I can also image public school teachers
using this site with young children - using the existing images and
the paint tools provided to create their own version of paradise
online, then encourage them to talk about why they created it
as they did, and invite their friends to come and view their artwork.

WARNING: This is a java-based setup, and may require at
least a pentium.....
