What is it?
What is it?
Twine is "an open-source tool for telling interactive, nonlinear stories" (twinery.org, 2021) that allows users to create their own interactive fiction stories (think of these as online 'choose your own adventure stories) and text-based games without the need for any coding experience, but it allows for the creation of much more complex interaction via the integration of "variables, conditional logic, images, CSS, and JavaScript when you're ready" (twinery.org). Twine stories are saved as HTML files, so sharing them or posting them online is quite easy!
Can it be used for education?
Can it be used for education?
Absolutely. Twine allows you to create narratives for your students to engage in or you can also have your students create their own IF or games with no extensive technical support needed.
Follow the links on this site to learn more about Twine, how you can use it to create your own IF, and to find some examples of IF that you can play and examine to see how the coding works!
