StoryBird allows you to create your own stories using their collection of artwork. This is a screen shot of the cover of the short story I create for practice. Teachers can use this tool to create any type of story, which can be used electronically and read to the children or printed off to create a physical book. I think this is a fun tool, but I had some trouble with it. I found it hard to search for pictures that fit the topic you are looking for, and I wish that we were not limited to their images only. It would be useful to be able to upload my own images. On the other hand, it was easy to assemble the story once I found images to use. It was very quick, which would be useful for a teacher balancing activities. I think I would use this in my classroom to create stories to read to my class, and display it using an overhead. Next time, I will try to create a story with more in depth text and more pages.
