I think you are a natural teacher and made understanding the basics of Twine very clear. Have you thought about making another video that teaches even more about Twine - next steps?

I love Twine

[@msk-qp6fn]

is it just me or has the format of twine seems to have changed?

I love the narrative possibilities of twine. But I am having problems with embedding media. I want to do it via Google docs or something i can control. Any suggestions? Thank you.
