Loading...One of the topics of #etmooc has been Digital Storytelling. Telling stories through the use of pictures is a powerful way to share. One of the Digital Storytelling assignments for #etmooc is to do a Five Card Flickr story.

UK residents for whom the title quote has meaning will forgive the reference to a long-lived and for many, well-loved English variety entertainer, Max Bygraves.
