My Storybird

I am using Storybird to create my own story:

Storybird is very useful for Language Arts class, especially for developing students' writing skills, creativity, and the ability to connect the dots. ESL/EFL teachers can assign their students to create their own visual stories on this website with various categories for them to choose. Students can work individually and in pair to experience the process of being an author. Affording young pupils a sense of authorship is a strong motivator for them to participate in class.

Lik any other Web 2.0 tools, young authors are able to share their works with people all over the world. This is real and contexualized education because they write for real audience, and their writing is situated within self-selected context. Let your students create now!
