I wanted to try out different digital storytelling resources, so I looked at several options before deciding on Storybird. I chose Storybird because I liked the style of the artwork and it had good word choices. I created a couple simple poems to be sure the words students have to choose from are connectible in a logical way. Students can choose an illustration, then they build a poem, picture book, or multi-chapter book based around the picture. This would be a great resource for students who have a hard time getting started and coming up with ideas for writing. I really like the tutorial aspect of Storybird. The have writing tips on a variety of topics.
