An A-H story I created

=**Web 2.0 Tool**=
 * [|Storyboard creator]**

=**Description**= Storybird is a free service where users can create (collaboratively, if desired) their own stories using a collection of illustrations provided by the site.

=**Pros**= Allows the students to be creative, social, and have fun. Brings the classroom closer together, share ideas and values.

=**Cons**= You can not upload your own images. The images can not be edited/altered. Younger students will need advanced skills at the keyboard and reading and writing skills to use this tool by themselves.

=**Possible Class Use**= to teach words with the same beginning or ending sounds. Also, it can be used to teach sentence structure, nouns, and verbs. Another concept to teach using storybird could be the elements of a story.
 * Language Arts:** Storybird could be used to help students understand a story has a beginning, middle, and end. In elementary level


 * Science:** Storybird can be used to teach the different animals while writing a story about their habitats.
