PE_3 StoryJumper

I am really surprised by all that StoryJumper has to offer.  When I decided on StoryJumper for my practical experience I was a little worried that I may not have a lot to explore with.  I was wrong.  I have watched tutorials, videos,explored the site and found the StoryStarter tool and now I have found another exciting tool!  While exploring I found that StoryJumper offers a classroom edition for teachers.  This portion of the site offers a lot for teachers!

  1. Teachers will have the ability to review student's work in one place.
  2. Students will have the ability to access their story at home and share it with friends and family.
  3. Teachers will have the ability to control privacy and student information.
  4. Teachers will be able to share discounts with parents who would like to order the student make books.  


Below is a picture of the set-up page for the classroom edition of StoryJumper.
I am looking forward to creating my first story and sharing it with my students!  I am mostly looking forward to seeing my students' finished stories.  I can't wait to share this with everyone.  Be sure to read my blogs.  I think this site could be used all the way through the elementary grades, as this tool could be used for several different projects.  I was even thinking of making a recipe book and integrating math into the writing process.  What do you think is possible with this tool?  It would be interesting to make a list of all our ideas!
