Writing tool: Storybird

-

 

Storybird is a storytelling platform that can be used in both website and app formats. On the platform there are drawings made by the Storybird's own staff and aim of these drawings is to inspire students to come up with their own stories and/or poems. The teacher can create a community where all the students in the class can see each other's stories. It is also possible to invite other users to one's own writing and do collaborative writing. Essentially it is a story writing platform, but the users can read other stories they find on the platform too if they want to. Unfortunately it is a paid platform and the free trial lasts for only 7 days. Link: storybird.com
