After learning all about Storybird, I decided to use it with my little cousins to see how young children would respond to using it. I was babysitting four of them, two in third grade and two in fourth grade, and they loved Storybird! The only boy created a story by himself, and the three girls created one together. This shows how Storybird can be enjoyable for boys and girls in various sized groups. After I showed them how to create a story by picking a set of pictures and dragging the picture they wanted to use onto the page that was there, they were able to start from the beginning and do the whole thing themselves.
The stories are really short since they were excited to play together which they rarely get a chance to, but all of my little cousins who did these stories were very proud of there work. They needed a little help with some of the formatting specifics, but they were excited to use my laptop and type in their own stories. They had fun with the stories and wanted everyone to see what they had created, so here are the links to the stories. The Rockers! and The Sweet Old Lady I hope you enjoy them as much as they enjoyed making them.
