Widgets

Widgets are mini-applications that may be embedded in websites, blogs, wikis, Nings, etc. They are often dynamic and interactive. You may use widgets to subscribe to RSS feeds and other push content.  Note: Most of the Digital Storytelling Tools and online Video portals provide embed code.
