Why Is This A Great Tool


This website/app may help some students get interested in the writing process because they can see their stories come to life.  It is always a very neat way to share with parents the learning that is going on in your classroom.

Ways To Use It In Your Classroom 


Kathy Shcrock has lots of great ideas on how to use digital storytelling in the classroom. Here are some great ideas:
  • Write a story about a topic being discussed in class
  • Write a journal as if they are someone from the past 
  • Create a reflection journal where they reflect on activity done in the classroom
  • Interview a classmate, grandparent, community member about an event in history
