Storybird

Technology Resource of the Week: Storybird


Storybird is a wonderful online storybook creation site for kids of all ages.  Storybird has a large selection of images that students use to spark their imagination and unleash creative writing skills.  Once on the site, students choose images for their pages, add ideas to the pages they insert, and then spend time turning those ideas into a wonderful finished product.  Students’ books can be shared out for others to read and enjoy.  Storybird gives teachers the ability to create a classroom for their kids.  In this classroom, teachers can make assignments, provided feedback as students move through the writing process, and monitor all student progress from a teacher dashboard.  Click the following link for more information: https://storybird.com/educators/
