Thank you for suggesting Storybird! I love it and can't wait to use it with my students! What an amazing, inspirational site!

My fourth grade students enjoyed Math Curse and enjoyed writing their own word problems. We used the Web 2.0 tool called Storybird. The students used the various Storybird art portfolios to "inspire" their word problem. Then they wrote their word problem and created their Storybird book using the art that inspired their writing. Each student published their Storybird, then read and commented on at least one peer's Storybird. In order to satisfy a language arts expectation that all students send and retrive an email, students emailed their Storybird to a parent and to me.
