What is Storybird and how was is it used? coopertipsy https://padlet.com/coopertipsy/ahjdn6hqtu7y/wish/141353462 Storybird is a website that can be used to create stories and other creative writing pieces. The idea is for the inspiration of the story to come from the pictures provided on the website. The author selects a picture and from there, a story grows.]]> 2016-12-02 12:29:00 UTC https://padlet.com/coopertipsy/ahjdn6hqtu7y/wish/141353462 3.

A Twist on Storybird... coopertipsy https://padlet.com/coopertipsy/ahjdn6hqtu7y/wish/141354310 The student participating in my one-on-one literacy instruction was sharing a dialogue journal with a writing role model/pen pal as part of our instruction. I transferred the dialogue from pencil and paper to the Storybird website and had them continue their dialogue on the Storybird website. Now they both have access to their dialogue journal whenever they have access to the internet and could continue their dialogue beyond the literacy instruction sessions. ]]> 2016-12-02 12:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/coopertipsy/ahjdn6hqtu7y/wish/141354310 5. The Reaction Was... coopertipsy https://padlet.com/coopertipsy/ahjdn6hqtu7y/wish/141358415 The students enjoyed using the Storybird website to create their dialogue journal because they:
  • used an interesting website on the internet and a Chromebook
  • had a vast amount of attractive pictures to select from to added more character to their dialogue
  • recognized spelling errors and corrected (most) of them easily
  • now have access to their journal outside of school and can look back on the memories they shared
  • are familiar with how to create books using the Storybird website

The student was participating in authentic reading and writing experiences. I believe the student would have gained even more knowledge through creating a book.
                    NO
The student was robbed of drawing experiences she got from the pen and paper dialogue journal. I realized later in the semester how crucial drawing can be to young writers.]]> 2016-12-02 13:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/coopertipsy/ahjdn6hqtu7y/wish/141358938 7.
