Storybird Quick Tour from Storybird on Vimeo.
After you have created your story, please Publish the story and EMBED it on your blog like this if you can. It is a little tricky so if you can't embed it, please post a link to your Storybird on your blog and reflect how you could or couldn't use this in your classroom or in another content area.
Let me know when your story is posted so I can see what you have created. You can also invite me or someone else from our class to collaborate on a story together. Let us know in the comments below if you did this:) I think this would be great for students to collaborate.

ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool site! Every year, Spanish Two students write and illustrate their own stories using the Preterite and Imperfect verb tenses. This site would be a nice option for students to create their stories, while incorporating use of technology into the classroom. The site is really easy to use. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is how to put in the accent marks. I also wasn't able to find any code to embed this into my blog.

ReplyDeleteGreat site-Fun and user-friendly. This would be great for language teachers to use for and with students. It would really force them to build vocabulary, use their creativity, and a variety of grammar concepts. Great idea for encouraging student writers with professional artists.
ReplyDeleteHere is my not very genius traveling cate:

So cute! I love the character!
DeleteBeth, my Storybird is embeded on my blog if you'd like to check it out!! Fun! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteYou can check out my story on my blog. It was fun to make, but I thought it was difficult to find the type of art I was looking for. I wanted to do an earth science story, but I couldn't find art with the right theme. They need to have a search option for art themes!
ReplyDeleteI posted my StoryBird on my blog. It was time consuming trying to find art I could work with...I can't really think of an application in my classroom for this...partly because I think my brain is frozen from staring at this computer for so long. It's a cool tool, I'm just not convinced I'd use it again. But good to know about!

ReplyDeleteHere's my little story - it was fun to make! I like how this forces a person to be very deliberate in planning out the sequence, selecting text, and choosing the illustrations. Good practice in plot, etc. I can see using this to assign character bios from novels, or novel summaries - could be a lot of productive fun for English :-)

ReplyDeleteI made this picture book and tried to be as simple as possible to show an example to my first grade students. It was really fun but I felt limited on the pictures that I wanted to use to match a story that I read. I ended up making a new story instead of telling about the old one. Over all I like Storybird and would like to try it with my students.
Very cute! Nice job.
DeleteI enjoyed making the story. It was easy to do. I am just not sure if I actually got it on my blog. I don't know if it is showing up correctly. I would love to use this in my first grade classroom to watch my students imagination come out. It would be great for them to work with another student and have them work on a story together. I could see this being used in several academic areas.

ReplyDeleteThis is my Storybird. I really enjoy this program, but it was hard for me to decide what art to use because there were so many choices and all of the art is absolutely beautiful. I couldn't figure out how to embed the story onto my blog, but I really want to. I would love to have my students use this program. I think it would be a great way to get students to work together in small groups. I think it would be something that they would be proud to share.
Story bird tool
ReplyDeleteOK So I did Tool 3 I made a story bird here is the link

I liked making the story, but honestly it was a little harder than I thought. I suddenly knew what it felt like to have "writers block" I think this program will be easy to use in the classroom and it shouldn't take them to long. Out of all the tools, this one is the one I am going to start my kids on next school year.

Had a hard time to figure use of this in the classroom. I wanted to write a story about calculating/using slope, but the artwork wasn't there. Only other usage I could come up with was an illustrated story problem. It would be fun to have the students come up with their own word problems, maybe collaboratively!
