Tool of the Week

Storybird

Storybird is one of those little web gems you often hear about, but never actually tried. Storybird allows students to use predetermined images to create a poem, picture book, or even multi-chapter book. When a student creates aStorybird they have given certain pictures to choose from. Once they do, it is their job to create a story based off of those images. This can be pretty tricky and challenging for a student, or even a educator. The short story I created above was truly a labor of love. 

The end result though is pretty neat. Students can see their creations online and share them with fellow classmates via a URL. These stories could even be embedded in a website like I did above. 

So if you are a teacher looking to get students into more creative writing, be sure to give Storybird a try!  Watch the video below for some step by step instructions on how to create your own account and story

Hi....I would be interested in using this to do some poetry with my class. Whenever you can come in to get us started would be great. We have specials from 1:26-2:08 and lunch from 12-12:45. All other times would be fine. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you!
