Belinda Lynn Welles ED638 fall 2022 Dr. M. Rivera Effective Literacy Website Review #5 My Story Book
My fifth literacy website review is on my story book https://www.mystorybook.com/. My story book is easy-to-use book creator and book-sharing app. It allows students and teachers to create books using photos, typed content, voice recordings, and drawings created on the app. The drawing option offers many creation choices including 20 colors, multiple tools, and different sizes for each tool. To start your creation of a book, choose to create a new book, and follow the written directions that will instruct you along the way. There is also a tutoring video available if you need help. Kids these days enjoy games where they can create their own avatar or character. With my story book, students can create the story character and choose the detail looks for their character. Teachers who want to introduce students to digital story creation for the very first time, I recommend mystorybook.com. It will be to be a smart choice for your young creative little story writers. Did I mention it is free to use? Yes free! Students can brainstorm, create a character, choose setting, write story and publish book. Turning it into a digital story to share online where parents and friends can also enjoy. This well-designed, engrossing app puts kids' focus completely on content creation because the bookmaking itself is so easy. Stories can also be printed out and reprinted as many as needed. This is a fun and clever website. I will definitely share this website to my anybody, not just teachers.

     Thank you, Dr. Rivera and to my classmates for making the learning experience in class enjoyable and worthwhile. I appreciate all the information shared online, email, and on text.  This class has made teaching with technology less daunting and challenging as we face a new level of technology-literate learners.  Even old dogs (like myself) are still able to learn new tricks.      Good luck to everyone as we continue to move forward with the Program. We’ve got this!      I know this isn’t necessarily good-bye, just see you later. In the meantime...
