Storybird

My co-teacher asked if I would work with a student on the Ipad with an application called Storybird. The first 20 minutes during reading we go to small table in the room to work. Storybird is basically a writing application. The student picks out a picture that she wants to base her story on then she is given a variety of pictures that relate to it. Every page she can put in a picture then type anything she wants for her story. My co-teacher started trying this for the first time this year. The student who uses it is bored during reading class and this is meant to challenge her and really use her creativity. I've been watching her use it and the story she is writing right now is really good. I'm helping her add in quotes into the story. I would definitely use Storybird in my classroom.
