A Review on Storybird

Hi everyone, today I'll talk about another website that I can regard as useful for teachers: Storybird.

Storybird is an online storytelling app. Students can use it to create texts and can upload by using the Storybird's collection in their pictured books. Students, aside from creating their own, can read other published stories as well. They can repost, like or leave comments on stories they like. When students decide to create there are 3 options: pictured book, long form and poetry. After signing up and logging in students can start creating stories by choosing which format they want to write; then browse Storybird's art collection to find illustrations. Students can also make collabration work on the app as well. Storybird can be used by teachers to prompt student writing. Digital writing is on the rise in our age via blogging etc. They create a more free environment for students to express themselves compared with the classroom environment. So, Storybird is good option to encourge students to use target language on a personal platform for writing and reading skills. Teachers can also create assignments on the app, grade submitted stories.
That was it for today, take care of yourself.
