Name of the tool Storybird
Where to access storybird.com
this tool (web
address)
Brief instructions of - Go to storybird.com and click the sign in link. Then proceed to sign in with your
how to use the tool username/email and password. (If you dont have an account you must create
one.)
-Once you are signed in you will be directed to the Your Stuff page. From there
you will click Create (the third link in the top menu bar)
-Next you can select an image that inspires your story or poem and you will click
the lightning bolt on that picture and select if you want to make a longform book,
picture book or a poem.
-After selecting which one you would like to create, you can begin to add words
and different pictures. The Longform book allows you to add more words with
pictures and breaks. After you finish it, you can publish and begin a new chapter.
The picture book option allows you to create different pages with words and
different pictures. The poem option allows you to have one picture with the
options of dragging and dropping words.
- In order to add a collaborator, you will select options and then invite
collaborator and proceed to type in their information to send an invite

whoever you give permission to.
Ideas for how the -SOL 2.14 (The student will use available technology for reading and writing)
tool can be used in This is a broad SOL standard, but it allows students to be more creative and use
PK-12 their imagination. I would ask the students to partner up or get into a group of
three and simply come up with a story. I will give them a general topic, but they
can go anywhere from that. To ease things, they will construct two pre-writes. A
brain storm and a rough draft that they can work on together and then from there
I will edit and give feedback then they can all jump on Storybird and create their
story. If laptops are in available at the school they will be each logged on to their
own computer working on the story, but they will be sitting in groups so that they
can talk about what they are doing as they go.
-SOL 4.7 (i) (The student will write cohesively for a variety of purposes Utilize
elements of style, including word choice and sentence variation) Here, I would
have students create a free verse poem with no world limit. They will use a
single image and their poem needs to somewhat relate to the image. Storybird
pre-loads words and the student can pick from them. If they are looking for a
different word to use they can click the refresh button in the bottom corner to get
different words. For this activity, the collaborative technique will be peer-
review(editing). They will invite one collaborator and the collaborator will edit and
then give suggestions.
-SOL DE.1 (f) (The student will demonstrate an understanding of Virginia traffic
laws, licensing procedures and other responsibilities associated with the driving
privilege. responsibilities at a crash scene.) Students will use Storybird to
make a picture book to tell a story/ scenario of either what can go wrong at a
crash scene or what to do at a crash scene. It should be detailed and done with
a partner. After, it will be presented to the class.

the tool and a poem)

they have on the sides from you to pick from.
