StoryBird

This week in class we learned about StoryBird. This was a cool tool, but definitely not my favorite. I'm not a very original or creative person, so it is beneficial that this tool provides their own pictures, but not beneficial that I am requires to create a story. However, I remember in Kindergarten that my classroom had books and they were written about us (mine was a dinosaur book all about Jordyn!) and I thought that was awesome, so creating a book for the class that they each help with and having it published and put in the room would be a super fun activity for smaller ages. As someone discussed in class, I don't exactly see a point in this tool for older students, but as previously stated, it could be a lot of fun for the younger ones. I also do like its really safe, but don't like that you must have a teacher account to embed the story you create, what about all of us regular people? Either way, I will probably still play around with it just to see what all I can do with it and work on my creativity skills! ;)
