Storybird provides a wide selection of professional illustrations
and allows students (and adults) to use those illustrations to create their own
stories. It describes itself as “visual
storytelling for everyone.” Students can share their stories on social media, make
use of a fundraising option, and give each other feedback on their stories. A
plan for a teacher and up to 100 of their students is $29.75/year.
I could see Storybird being used at any student grade level.
Younger students could make books using simple, single words or sentences
(i.e., making a book about a color or a letter). Older students could really unleash
their creativity to create more complicated books.
Storybird seems like a lot of fun to me and really is not
very expensive for even a single teacher to make use of the program. I would
use it myself with any age group of students, and I would recommend it to
others.
