Students will

Storybird that
show how this will

with Storybird.

Students practice
new vocabulary by

Reflection: I really liked using Storybird, and I think it would be a great tool to use in my future classroom. I like how it easy it was
to use and it allows for a lot of creativity. I think students would like looking through the different types of artwork and publishing
their stories. After filling in my Matrix, I was surprised at how many subject standards and concepts Storybird can cover. The
only concept I had a hard time filling in was gamification.
