  1. Creating Digital Stories With Storybird

  2. Introduction Digital storytelling is all the rage. Kentucky Department of Education through the Kentucky Academic Core Content Standards suggest that school librarians and teachers begin to have their student produce digital stories. But Why?Digital storytelling can be used through all content areas and it incorporates P-12 students communicate what they know and can do via technology.

  3. Experts state that technology must be incorporated into curricula in a thoughtful manner • Adding technology on top of the current curricula is not the best way to utilize the tools or maximize learning. • School librarians, teachers and technology coordinators need to select the best technology tools for learning various content areas and measure students performance

  4. Problem Based Scenario • Everyone has a story to tell. Professional storytellers are experts in weaving the language of the story so the audience is on edge and engaged as they listen. • So how does an average teacher or young child learn to weave words to tell a compelling story? • It does help to view what storytelling is NOT! Take a look. • Everyone recalls the emotions with the story of Cinderella. Is this version as touching as the one you remember. (Power Point 20th Anniversary Cinderella

If you select the “see more tags” option you will see more themes that you can find art for.

  15. Select: Start a Storybird with this art.

  16. Add text to your Storybird in the appropriate place. In this example it would be the upper left-hand corner of the cover. This will be the cover of your story.

  17. Click on slide one at the bottom of the page. Add your artwork to page one by clicking and dragging the illustration you want. Position your artwork on the page and you will be able to add text under it, over it, or beside it based on where you place your artwork. This will be the first page in your storybird.

  22. Summary will be added here. The summary appears along side your finished story. It should tell what your story is about. For example, I may write “This story is about a bear who is mad. He is mad at his friend Jelly. In the end Bear and Jelly learn an important lesson.”

  23. Possible tags: bear, mad, anger, “lesson learned” Tags for your story would be one to two words that describe your story. These would be used if a user was looking for key words when searching for a Storybird to read.
