Digital Storytelling



I created a story on storybird.  I used it as an intro to life science.  I thought using already made images would be helpful but I struggled with making it relevent to my class units.  I think I will give Zooburst a try after looking at Linda's story board as I can see using it in that way to be helpful in my class.  This could be helpful when I have students write a book to help explain what they have learned in different units.  Again for that I think that it may be easier for students to do that with the Zooburst where they can add their own images that relate to the topic.  http://storybird.com/books/welcome-to-life-science/

  2. Christine,

    That was sure fun to read! I'll have to give Storybird a try too. Anything creative like this - the kids will eat it up! (Even if food and drink are not allowed:) PS - Minaki Muskie is me too - so if you see a comment under that Blog name in the future, it's me!

  3. Great story. I agree that zooburst seems easier to use when you are trying to make your story about something specific. However, the pictures are cooler in Storybird.

  4. I got the message, "This storybird has been made private,"
    so I couldn't view it. Maybe I did something wrong. At least I recognized you by your photo!
