Storybird with high school students: more than writing narratives

摘要

fter being introduced to the digital story writing tool Storybird, at a teacher librarians' network meeting, I was keen to work with it. The joy of Storybird is that it is an extremely user friendly tool that enables students to c reate digital narratives online. Created stories are saved as each page Ls added. Stories can be polished and edited as often as needed, and the Storybird format lends itself to a variety of lesson types. For example · the class can write a story together · students can create their own stories · students can collaboratively write a narrative, with one student beginning the story and another student finishing it · students can invite their teacher to share their story, which provides opportunities for discussion, and teaching and learning, and assessment.
