StoryKit is a simple app offered by International Children's Digital Library for use on iPads or iPhones. Students can creatively make e-books or e-projects using text editing, images/drawing, and audio recording. They can use it to write individual stories, OR, can use it collaboratively to demonstrate learning within a particular unit in any subject! With images, text, and audio, students can create a virtual art gallery, or an exam study resource. StoryKit could also be used to create e-projects which serve as summative assessments for various subjects/units in the elementary years. Teachers break down the unit into topics, and assign each group of students a topic to create an e-book about. These can then be easily shared with families to demonstrate learning, too!
