(OR Protip: if you want to do something, Google what you want + Twine. i.e. “embed video in
Twine” then use YouTube tutorials etc. Unless you change it, you are using HARLOWE.)

Twine Tutorial made my Lyle Skains from Bangor University in the UK:

Key code to use:
Images:
<img src="URL" alt="any alt text" style="width:500px;height:600px;">
Play with the width and height until it looks right on your Twine.

Neocities: https://neocities.org/
This is where I ask students to publish their Twine stories and then share the link with me. It is
free, easy to use, and has a built in “how to code” tutorial at the start. You can have students just
send you their Twine files directly (which will be pubbed as an html file,) but then you need to go
through the extra step of importing it into your own Twine.)
BONUS: they can upload any photos they want to use in their Twine here and then they’ll have a
stable URL to insert into their Twine. For example, check out the URL I used for my title

Other Twines!
All of the sample “educational” Twine games I showed are linked through the
Presentation Twine. If you want to experience some non/fiction tales, I suggest Temple of
No, Depression Quest, and Howling Dogs for very different experiences of reader agency
and power of choice/lack of choice. These are the three pieces I teach. But beware:
Temple of No has some salty language and Depression Quest is very realistic, and
therefore, heavy.
