STORYBIRD

 Storybird is one of the best digital storytelling websites and it can be taken advantage of in education. Kids love hearing and reading fun stories and that's where storybird comes into play. Kids simply do not like or pay attention to things that does not have any entertainment purpose which makes it harder to educate them. Through storybird though , kids will not only feel entertained but they will also learn . All we have to do is embed the information in the story and kids will not even notice they are trying to be educated !

You can go to the site by clicking here and start creating your own stories.
