<p>I am new to classroom 2.0 and just saw your message about storybird! I am the tech teacher and librarian at my school. This website is awesome and I am planning on using it immediately with my classes. </p>

<p>Thanks a million,</p>

Thank you for your management tips. I would love to do this with a class but can easily see where they might get overwhelmed with the pictures.

That's excellent. I have seen students very motivated by Storybird - a real sense of ownership. Much more exciting to publish online than hide your work away in an exercise book where hardly anybody sees it!

<p>Yes - I have seen that. Thanks for asking. At one time Storybird did not accept stories in languages other than English but now they do, even though at times I find that one of my students' stories will not be accepted. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm always looking for ways that will encourage their writing in Spanish and be interesting to them at the same time. For the Storybird activity, I had them write the first 2 pages of their Storybird and then other students needed to add at least one page…</p>

<p>I'm always looking for ways that will encourage their writing in Spanish and be interesting to them at the same time. For the Storybird activity, I had them write the first 2 pages of their Storybird and then other students needed to add at least one page to their classmates' stories. Some of them enjoyed Storybird so much that they wrote their ENTIRE story and didn't want others to change their storyline. Perfect - my plan worked! :)</p> C Hitz have you come across t…tag:www.classroom20.com,2011-04-23:649749:Comment:6280002011-04-23T07:10:37.185ZColleen Younghttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/ColleenYoung
<p>C Hitz have you come across the MFL Storybird teacher's wiki. there are Spanish stories there.</p>
<p>There is a link on <strong><a href="http://staffweb2tools.wordpress.com/writing/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this page</a></strong> where I put Storybird links for our staff. Russell Stannard's training videos are good for anyone new to and interested in Storybird.</p>

Tina - I'm late to the discussion but I wanted to let you know that I just posted a comment on one of your students' stories from March. I used Storybird with my upper level Spanish students and they enjoyed it too.

Wow, thanks for posting. I had never heard of Storybird before. What a great tool for the classroom. I plan on using it to make my own stories for the kids as well as having them make their own.

Each student had their own account through the class account that I set up. No email is required for students, unless they want to invite collaborators. I like the idea of having a class book of poems. Colleen Young had her students use Storybird to create stories reviewing math concepts. You'll see her comments further up with a link to her students' creations. For sure there are lots of possibilities beyond just fictional stories.

Storybird seems like a great program and I loved your students projects! I am glad to hear that it is relatively easy to use and the fact that its free makes it easily accessible to students at home and at school. Did each student have to sign up for an account? When I was looking at the site I noticed that you can have your Storybirds printed. It would be neat to have students collaborate, come up with a story as a class, and then print the book for your class or school library. Another class…
Storybird seems like a great program and I loved your students projects! I am glad to hear that it is relatively easy to use and the fact that its free makes it easily accessible to students at home and at school. Did each student have to sign up for an account? When I was looking at the site I noticed that you can have your Storybirds printed. It would be neat to have students collaborate, come up with a story as a class, and then print the book for your class or school library. Another class project could be to create a Storybird that is a compilation of student poems. Each student could choose the artwork for their page(s) and a class book could be printed. Thank you so much for sharing this website! I am short on time, but will bookmark your class blog so that I can comment on your students' work later.
