Teachers sign up for a free account at bookcreator.com where students can create online fiction or nonfiction books, how-to manuals with video and audio instructions, photo books, comic strips, and more. Students could also use Book Creator as a portfolio tool, assembling examples of work throughout a unit or semester.
Teachers can sign up for a free basic account at storybird.com where students choose an illustration, write (stories, poems, comic strips, and more) then share by publishing.
Storybird's framework matches Story Studio's Inspire-->Create-->Share framework exactly.
