One of the challenges of teaching creative writing can be just getting students to start a story. The app Scribeasy can be helpful because it provides visual prompts that aid as story starters.

I love this site! I was just looking for something similar to Photostory on PCs. This isn't exactly it, since it doesn't allow audio voiceovers and student drawings (at least from what I can tell) but it is drop-dead gorgeous. Can't wait until they release an iPad app -- imagine this on the retina display :) I am definitely going to use this in class -- maybe even this week. I also love that it's a creative writing social networking tool that encourages best work, creativity, and collaboration. Thanks for posting!

This is another good use of a blog. It's for second grade students and the student work has been taken down, but scope is great. Exposing students to reflection and blogging at a young age is tremendous. Hopefully, it starts a life-long journey of writing and reflective, critical, and creative thinking.
