I have been using Storybird a bit this week as a nice end of term reward activity. However, the potential for "controversy" around students having to sign up for websites meant that my gut instinct was to steer clear of this. Instead, as the images have been left open to copy, I had students paste them into Powerpoint and play from there. It is amazing what can be done in a 35-minute lesson! Students were clearly enthused and motivated thanks to the quality, and in some cases the cuteness of the artwork! The response from students to work such as this has been overwhelmingly positive.
Luke O in my Year 10 set 3 produced this story - I asked his set to produce something a Year 7 pupil would understand. Some class members produced very long stories in one lesson, but I like the cartoonish humour of this.
