This term I was introduced to the wonder that is Story Bird. As my Teacher Inquiry this year is around the use of digital technology and its benefits on struggling writers, Story Bird has been a welcomed addition to our weekly programme.
The children love the graphics and the addition of words (which I have previously selected) takes away the stress some children face when writing. Every week each piece of poetry produced has improved greatly as we have discussed the layout and structure as well as shared them with the class. My next step is getting these onto the children's blogs more frequently so they can be shared and enjoyed with family.
