My students starting using
storyjumper.com recently as a means to create fiction, nonfiction, procedural,
and poem books. I started with an exploratory initial lesson with the choice of
personal narrative, a Halloween fiction story, or a nonfiction book about Helen
Keller or Ruby Bridges.
Students are able to use
pre-made template or from scratch. Storyjumper has a variety of different setting
and pictures that can be manipulated into full illustrations. It also has a
nice choice of text for the students to choice from.
The Classroom Edition is
designed to give teachers an interface to manage and review students' work, enable
kids to share stories between the classroom and home, and maintain strict privacy controls over
student information (Storyjumper, 2012).
