Shouldn't Voicethread and Photostory 3 be in the Virtual Storytelling section because these tools allow narrations?

maybe we should put them in both places...that way if we are thinking of a project that is for photos we would find it and if we are thinking more in the storytelling mode we would also find it??

Maybe if she change the link to "Virtual Story Telling and Photo Tools" and just have one link, the tools might make more sense together.
