This story maker would be great to use with elementary students who are learning about how words come together to create sentences and stories. The tool would be an excellent resource for students who struggle with writing and need a visual to help them see the relationship between text and pictures. It works kind of like a game, allowing students to select characters, backgrounds, plots, and items so that they can create their own stories. Students are allowed to see the images they create and, as they create these images, the story maker builds the text to tell the story so that students can see how writing comes together. Students are also given the ability to change the text and incorporate animations. Finally, students are given a code that lets them share the story they created with others.

I've used this many times in my classroom. The students love it!

Google classroom can be a powerful tool for student-centered online learning. Teachers would be asked to use this source to introduce themselves to not only how to use it but how students can benefit from it. I love this source because it seems to be mostly created by high school students. The school that created it is showing how they are going to have students troubleshooting and supporting teachers throughout next years integration of classroom.

This is honestly the best tool I have used for customized online learning and portfolio work I have used with kids. There is a ton of importing/exporting/appsmashing capabilities all through one really kid-friendly source.
