I discovered the coolest app this week! It's called Super Duper StoryMaker. Students can create stories with pictures from the camera roll on the device, with any of the many choices in the app, or they can draw their own. StoryMaker has 2 screens, create a story and tell a story. In create story students make their own stories. In tell story students read, tell, and talk about their stories. Kids can record their voice and have others listen to it.
The upgraded (paid) version has 120 pictures for storytelling - 51 fictional characters, 41 places, and 22 animal choices.
I was going to use the free version, but you can't save your stories with it and I know the kids will want to save them. So, I bought it for 4.99.
My 2nd graders have been doing animal research during their last 2 visits to the library. Now, they are going to use the research collected on their graphic organizers to write their own animal stories. Then, they are going to share the stories with their classmates. I'm so excited to see the finished products!
Now, I just need to work on finding a way for the students to share their stories with their parents.
