Let me intruduce you to my favourite e-learning writing tool: Storybird. This is a very special tool, as it combines artistic appreciation with writing skills. Of course, it is also a fantastic tool for developing reading skills, since there are lots of colourful stories created and published by children.
To start using it you must first create an account and then you can start exploring through all the artists and get inspired by their illustrations, available for you to create your own story. The stunning illustrations stimulate children and adult imagination and creativity.
As a teacher, you can create your own teacher's account, which is like a regular account but customized to manage class and students. Through this account you will be able to sign-up your students without e-mail addresses, create thematic assignments to inspire them, review their work-in-progress, give them some feedback, reward them with digital stickers, send their work to parents, download it, embed the stories into a class blog or wiki, and so on.
Take a look at this assignment I have created in order to encourage my students to write about what makes them happy: What makes me happy.
I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.
