Farr-Out Links to Learning " Blog Archive " Storytelli. I just came across a new (to me) startup called Storybird. Storybird is a service that uses collaborative storytelling to connect two (or more) people. You can use the collaborative nature of this online storytelling application to create a Storybird in a round robin fashion by writing your own text and inserting pictures generously provided by a number of gifted illustrators/artists. You have the option to share a Storybird privately or publicly on the network. As the daughter of parents who were involved in publishing, I am intrigued by Storybird.
Some of the things I especially like about Storybird include…. With so much to like, I really struggled to come up with suggestions that might make this already great product even better. The only ideas I could could come up with include… the ability to print a finished book (that feature is coming). the ability to embed a book on a teacher website or blog. Calgaryscienceschool. Grade: 5 Subject Area: Humanities, Digital Storytelling Two our of Grade 5 teachers are giving a presentation at the upcoming Alberta Social Studies Conference, October 16-18 in Lake Louise, Alberta.
This presentation will focus on how to incorporate digital storytelling into the classroom, particularly where teachers want students to focus on understanding multiple perspectives and marginalized groups in history. When designing the work (in partnership with the Galileo Educational Network) the teachers used an online space called Intelligence Online, designed specifically for the planning of large-scale, inquiry-based projects. One of the benefits of IO is how it creates 'project pages' or publicly accessible websites that contain an overview of the project, as well as specific tasks, handouts, due dates, resources, and assessments.
These project pages are designed to communicate the overview of a project to both students and parents. We hope to see you at the Social Studies Conference! Collaborative storytelling.
