Other
Reflection:
I enjoy incorporating ways for my kids to communicate with me using Storybird since its something I can pull up on my own time
online. I tried to allow for students to use one another time to time to make Storybirds since they can learn from each other and
broaden their horizons. I liked the idea of allowing for class time when it came to creating Storybirds since sometimes technology
is not all that friendly. However, this can be mostly an individual activity, letting students express their creative thoughts in an
educational but entertaining way. I did my best to involve those with special needs to use Storybird so they can feel like theyre
doing what their classmates are doing as well.
