Learning by Writing !

-


 


Hello Guys ! Today I'm gonna write about a website for writing and reading skills. I hope you like it :) 


Storybird is a social tool for language education and especially for storytelling.      

After logging up teachers can create a class and include their students. We may say that Storybird is like Literature class in online. Students can act as authors and write stories using some visual things. Teachers can give assignments to his/her students. Also they give feedback to these assignments. As a potential teacher, I really like this website since there is a vibe of class atmosphere for learners and students.


 Learners can compose their writings or stories. Also, they can read published stories. When they want to write, there are 5 options for them. Picture Book, Longform Story, Comics, Flash Fiction, Poetry. After choosing they can make stories by reinforcing them with illustrations. Students have access to classroom libraries, any writing can be commented on by other students in the same classroom which means communication between students can be enhanced thanks to Storybird. 


Storybird encourages learner's creativity.  They will learn by exploring and exercising their creative storytelling skills. They will also find joy in producing and publishing books. Being productive and can see their own products will enhance the sense of successful.


Unfortunately, Storybird only provides 7 trial days free. After your trial, you have to upgrade and it requires a paid account both for teachers and students. 





Here is an example for you to use Storybird;


 

Once you choose your writing type, you can see your possible illustrations for the story. You can choose whichever you want. It is your story. 



It is a sample from my writing flash fiction.  I chose a picture which includes a butterfly and a girl. 

You can read my Flash Fiction via this link

I hope you enjoy it !

  Ciao Guys!  Actually, I came up with something we all know and use, but we're not very familiar with the name. According to the Oxford English Dictionary , an infographic (or information graphic) is “a visual representation of information or data. Infographic is a type of file that aims to make different data easier and more efficient by presenting it to the user with graphical support. Infographics can be effective educational tools, through their ability to break complex information into easy-to-understand elements and even make data engaging. Using infographics in your classrooms will be of interest to students. Thanks to infographics, we can better present information to students by visualizing it, and we can also make information more permanent. Infographics about many subjects can be prepared and presented to students. You can create your own educational infographic and then use it in your lessons. Through Infographics, you can summarize important parts at the end of the le

    Hello my friends. Today I am going to talk about a topic that you hear a lot about in recent times. Augmented Reality. Let's see what it is.  Augmented reality, one of today's most popular topics, is a product of technology that enriches current reality. We think it will take place for most of our lives in the future.
