PE4_Storybird

I am very excited about this tool. It incorporates writing (a skill that kindergarten students are just beginning to develop), parental involvement, and technology. These are all areas that are new to kindergarteners and their families.

First I had to create an account and create a class.

Here are screen shots of creating an account and a class:




 




 Here is a screen shot of changing the students password from the one assigned by Storybird. I gave them all the same password to make it easy for me to access their accounts, if needed!



















Here is a screen shot of the parent page: I have printed this page to send home to my families:




Here is a screen shot of choosing a picture from the artwork area to create an assignment.



 Here is a screen shot showing my assignment I created:


 Here is a screen shot with my assignment I created and my class list. This shows who has or has not been on the site and created a page in our book.

Now, that I have learned how to create an account, set up a class, changed their passwords, created a parental involvement/informational folder, created a faux assignment for practice and created a faux page, I will now be concentrating on my RILS. My next blog post will be focused on my progress of that!

Have a great night!!!
